Steelite and Steelite Xtra

Ropes are manufactured from the revolutionary HMPE high modulus polyethylene fibre. This new strong fibre is produced using a new process called gel spinning. Weight for weight HMPE fibre is the strongest on the market, being ten times stronger than steel and 40% stronger than aramid.

HMPE fibre is available in three qualities:
- Steelite
- Steelite Xtra
- low creep (on request)
Steelite 12-Xtra plaited
Superline Steelite Xtra
