FAQ
Q1: What is UHMWPE and why is it used in this rope?
A: UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a high-performance fiber known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, abrasion resistance, and low stretch. It makes the rope extremely strong, lightweight, and durable.
Q2: Can this rope float on water?
A: Yes, UHMWPE has a lower density than water, so the rope is naturally buoyant and ideal for marine applications.
Q3: Is the rope UV and weather resistant?
A: Absolutely. The rope is highly resistant to UV rays, moisture, and most chemicals, ensuring long-term outdoor durability.
Q4: What’s the maximum load capacity?
A: Load capacity depends on length and conditions of use, but 9mm UHMWPE rope typically offers a breaking strength exceeding 20,000 lbs (approx. 9,000 kg). Always follow safety guidelines and apply an appropriate safety factor.
Q5: Can the rope be spliced or knotted?
A: Yes, the rope can be spliced or knotted, but due to its slick surface, splicing is generally recommended for maintaining maximum strength.
