UHMWPE cable

The rope is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, which is interwoven by 6 strands with “S” and “Z” twist directions, so that the rope does not rotate. This kind of rope is hollow braided of. The characteristic of this cable is high strength, and it is widely used in marine rescue, national defense ships, shipbuilding industry, marine operation survey, marine geophysical prospecting, ship mooring and other fields.

UHMWPE Rope Properties

1. High specific strength, high specific modulus. The specific strength is more than ten times that of the steel wire of the same section, and the specific modulus is second only to the super carbon fiber.

2. The fiber density is low, the density is 0.97~0.98 g/cm3, and it can float on the water surface.

3. Low elongation at break, large work at break, and strong ability to absorb energy, so it has outstanding impact resistance and cutting resistance.

4. Anti-ultraviolet radiation, anti-neutron and gamma rays, high specific energy absorption, low dielectric constant, high electromagnetic wave transmittance.

5. Chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance and long flex life.

Application of UHMWPE Rope

●In the field of fishery, UHMWPE fiber ropes are very common in foreign countries, and the domestic market still needs to be further expanded and promoted.

●In the industrial field, we see that UHMWPE fiber ropes have achieved some important application cases in the industrial and mining fields abroad, and the domestic market still needs to be further expanded and promoted.

●In the maritime field, we are very surprised to see that almost all applications of UHMWPE fiber ropes abroad can be seen in China. In the domestic maritime field, we will find that in the fields of military industry, VLCC, LNG, geophysical exploration ships, etc., the influence of foreign brands is still relatively large. However, in the emerging VLGC, VLOC and other fields, the application of domestic UHMWPE fiber ropes has almost synchronized with foreign brands.
