Polyester Cover 8 Strand Synthetic UHMWPE Marine Towing Rope for Mooring Offshore
Description:
The Polyester Cover 8 Strand Synthetic UHMWPE Marine Towing Rope is a type of rope designed for mooring and towing offshore. It consists of 8 strands of synthetic UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fibers, which are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent resistance to abrasion, UV, and chemicals.
The rope is covered with a polyester jacket, which provides additional protection against wear and tear, as well as UV radiation. The jacket also improves the handling of the rope and makes it easier to grip.
This type of towing rope is commonly used in marine applications where high strength and durability are required, such as mooring ships, offshore drilling platforms, and towing barges. It is available in various sizes and lengths to suit different applications and can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions.
Main Performance:
- Material: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene;
- Strands: 8, 12 or as required;
- Color: According to your need;
- Specific Density: 0.97;
- Melting point: 165℃/260℃;
- Floating on the water, it is about 87.5% lighter than the same diameter steel wire rope；
- The strength is high, about 1.5 times higher than that of the same quality steel wire；
- Excellent abrasion resistance, sea water resistance, chemical resistance, ultraviolet resistance and repeated temperature difference；
- Easy to operate, safe to use and short in operation time. For example, in some cases, its mobility is significantly improved.
