UHMWPE is the world strongest fiber and is 15 times stronger than steel. The rope is the choice for every serious sailor worldwide because it has very little stretch, it’s lightweight, easy splicable and is UV-resistant.
UHMWPE is made from ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene and is an extremely high-strength, low-stretch rope.
UHMWPE is stronger than steel cable, floats on water and is extremely resistant to abrasion.
It is commonly used to replace steel cable when weight is an issue. It also makes an excellent material for winch cables.
