Stronger and lighter with EMMAKITES UHMWPE / Dyneema lines. The use of UHMWPE is not confined only to the sailors or yatchmen. Ropes with UHMWPE are replacing steel wire in many varied applications. As we do know, steel wires are strong and durable but the industry must also cut costs, that is why we are using UHMWPE now. They are lighter, stronger, and easier to handle than alternatives. Plus safer and more durable too.   They are also easy to maintain, inspect, and repair, which increases uptime and cuts costs,making them easier and safer to handle for the whole industries. UHMWPE ropes for industry and winches. Winch ropes made with UHMWPE match steel wire for strength but offer significant improvements in terms of weight and ease of handling. Winch ropes made with UHMWPE will not loose strength when overlapped, crushed or kinked. In the unlikely event of a ropes made with UHMWPE breaking, there is virtually no recoil, unlike steel wire where recoil is extremely dangerous. Due to UHMWPE ropes are unaffected by water, the lack of corrosion that a winch rope made with UHMWPE exhibits,and even can used on ocean installations.   High Strength: UHWMPE is 15 times stronger than steel wire Light Weight: Size for size, a rope made with Dyneema is 8 times lighter than steel wire rope. Water Resistant: UHWMPE is hydrophobic and does not absorb water, meaning it remains light when working in wet conditions. Floats on Water: UHWMPE has a Specific Gravity of 0.97 which means it floats in water. Chemical Resistance: UHWMPE is chemically inert, and performs well in dry, wet, salty and humid conditions, as well as other situations where chemicals are present. UV Resistant: UHWMPE has very good resistance to photo degradation, maintaining its performance when exposed to UV light. Can withstand extreme cold and hot temperatures Elongation at break is low, energy needed to break is high
