HMPE gold

Setting new standards

High Modulus PolyEthylene rope is one of the strongest, most durable and innovative ropes on the market today. The rope is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
The individual HMPE rope yarns are impregnated with a durable coating to reduce abrasion and extend the service life. The strength of HMPE rope is comparable diameter/diameter to steel wire rope. Available in two varieties: Single braided and cover braided rope.

HMPE with braided cover

Construction

Single braided with polyurethane coating: Cover braided:
HMPE gold - 12 strand

Standard colour

Silver - single braided
White - polyester cover braided
Other colours on request

Properties

Relative density   Single braided: 0,97 (floats)
Cover braided will vary from 0,97 to 1,15 depending on cover type
Temperature resistance   Melting point 150°C
UV resistance   Excellent - fully stabilized
Extension   4,5% at break (new rope)
reduces to 2% (worked rope)
Flexibility   Light weight and exible for easy handling - good shape retention
Chemical resistance   HMPE excellent
Polyester limited to alkalis


Length measured under reference tension according to ISO 9554. Minimum breaking load measured according to ISO 2307.
Spliced ropes will on average have 10% lower minimum breaking load. Figures and information are for guidance purpose only.

Typical applications

Winch lines - mooring lines - tow lines - tug assist lines - deep water lift lines - pipe pull lines - wire rope replacements - heavy duty slings - shing lines - oceanographic/ seismic cables - adjustable slings - Chinese fingers
