What is HMPE rope?
HMPE is a chemical name for high modulus polyethylene an increasingly popular material used to make different types of rope. HMPE is also known as ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) offering a range of performance and durability properties depending on grade and consistency of the fiber make up.

What is high modulus rope?
HMPE rope such as Spectra® and Dyneema® has a high tensile strength for its weight and good resistance to chemicals and Ultra Violet light – all of which make it great for boating but there is a drawback, HMPE does not tolerate tight bends which reduce the strength of the rope.
Is Dyneema the same as amsteel?
They are not the same thing but are often confused. As an example, the average strength of 1/4” Amsteel is 7400 pounds, while Amsteel Blue is 8600 pounds. Samson’s Amsteel is made from Dyneema SK60. Amsteel Blue is made from Dyneema SK75.
What is the strongest among the synthetic fibre rope?
Nylon
Nylon is generally the strongest of these common materials when dry. However, some nylon ropes lose as much as 20% of their strength when wet.
Is Dyneema stronger than stainless steel?
Dyneema® fiber is 15x stronger than steel at the same weight, with a tensile strength up to 43 cN/dtex. As well as its extraordinary strength, Dyneema® excels in cut and abrasion resistance and has a high resistance to chemicals and UV.
What is the lightest strongest rope?
Dyneema®
Known as the world’s strongest, lightest fiber – 15 times stronger than steel, yet floats on water – Dyneema® works to stop bullets, repair human joints and improve the longevity of apparel.
Is Dyneema a HMPE?
Dyneema® is an UHMwPE (Ultra High Molecular weight Polyethylene) or HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) fibre developed by DSM in the Netherlands some 30 years ago.
Why is amsteel so strong?
Made with Dyneema® fiber, AmSteel-Blue is Samthane coated, which enhances the fiber’s already high abrasion and cut resistant characteristics. It’s the highest strength single braid Samson makes. Samthane coating enhances this rope’s already high abrasion and cut resistance.
How strong is amsteel rope?
AmSteel is a non-rotational, Samthane coated, 12-strand single braid that yields high strength and low stretch; equivalent to wire rope with 1/7th the weight. In addition , the product is flexible, and resists flex-fatigue and abrasion….12-Strand Class II.
