Dyneema cables

Dyneema®, invented by DSM Dyneema, is a High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) fibre that offers maximum strength combined with minimum weight.

FibreMax cables made with Dyneema® SK-78 are as strong as steel-wire ropes, polyester or nylon ropes, but offer smaller diameters and significant less weight (when compared at the same MBL). This increased strength and weight reduction offers major advantages in terms of easier handling, increasing safety, faster operations and downsizing of constructions.

 Specifications:

• Made with Dyneema® SK-78.
• Highest strength-to-weight ratio of any fibre.
• Highest abrasion resistance of any fibre.
• Excellent dynamic toughness.
• Specific density approx. 0,96 (floats in water).
• Tensile strength 3200 MPa.
• E-modulus 110 GPa.
• Creep < 4%.
• Maximum EA at 5% MBL.
• Good UV resistance.
• Excellent fatigue life.
• Low elongation.
• Good chemical resistance.
• Long continuous lengths

Dyneema cables can be used in a wide range of applications:

• Deep sea mooring
• Offshore and marine installations
• Heavy Lifting
