HMPE rope is a torque-free 8-strand & 12-strand single braided rope that size for size and is as strong as steel all of above ,making it an excellent wire rope replacement. At only 1/8th the weight of wire, it is a safe and efficient solution for all marine applications where wire is traditionally used. The combination of UHMWPE provide abrasion and tension fatigue resistance for superior wear. It is easily spliced and inspected.
