Rope FSE Dyneema 4мм
Rope FSE Dyneema 4мм
Highest breaking strength at lowest weight
The raw material for Dyneema
®
is Polyethylene which is changed on
a molecular basis and in addition is stretched in one direction.
These stretched molecule chains increase the breaking load and
decrease the elongation. Therefore Dyneema
®
has the lowest
stretch at break of all synthetic fibers. Dyneema
®
has a very low
specific weight and is therefore buoyant. The only disadvantage is
that it creeps more than some other raw materials.
This means the fiber will show a permanent elongation under load.
Dyneema®
is used as core material in high-tech ropes. The core will
carry the load whereas the cover is just used for abrasion and light
protection. Therefore the cover can easily be removed from the rope
ends without reducing the breaking loads. Dyneema
®
also has a
good abrasion resistance and resistance against sunlight.
