Premium Dyneema® Ropes: High-Tenacity HMPE Engineering

Why Dyneema?

• 15x Stronger Than Steel

  At just 1/7th the weight of equivalent steel wire, Dyneema® allows for smaller, safer, and more ergonomic rigging systems. Its neutral buoyancy (SG 0.97) ensures full crane capacity is maintained at any depth without the penalty of "self-weight".

• Ultra-Low Elongation

  With elastic stretch typically below 1%, Dyneema® eliminates "rope bounce" and provides millimetre-accurate control for precision lifting. This low-energy state also drastically reduces "snap-back" hazards compared to high-stretch polyester or steel.

• 4x Longer Service Life

  Engineered to manage the FACTs (Fatigue, Abrasion, Creep, and Temperature), our Dyneema® range offers up to 4x the abrasion resilience of generic HMPE. Specific grades like SK78 and DM20 are further optimised to virtually eliminate permanent creep.

• 90% Lower Carbon Footprint

  English Braids utilizes mass-balanced circular feedstocks that reduce CO_2 emissions by up to 29 tonnes per tonne of fibre compared to fossil-based HMPE. You achieve the same certified Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) while meeting rigorous Scope 3 ESG targets.

• Superior Axial Thermal Conductivity

  Dyneema® is a thermal-engineered thermoplastic. While it has a melting point of 145°C, its unique molecular alignment allows for high axial thermal conductivity (20W/m.K), dissipating heat along the fibre length 100x faster than standard polymers. This makes it exceptionally resilient in high-friction winch environments where internal core fusion is a risk for generic HMPE.

• 90% TCLL Fatigue Resilience

  Our Dyneema® range is benchmarked against TCLL (Thousand Cycle Load Level) standards. While generic HMPE often fails under high-frequency cyclic loading, our SK78 fibres maintain over 90% of their original breaking strength after 1,000 load cycles. This reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by extending the safe operational window between replacements.
