Marine composite ropes and rigging systems are lightweight, high-strength solutions made from advanced synthetic fibers like Dyneema or Spectra. These systems offer superior durability, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight compared to traditional steel cables. Ideal for marine applications, they enhance performance and safety in sailing, towing, and offshore operations.

Size: 6mm to 100mm diameter

Grade: High-performance synthetic fibers (e.g., Dyneema®, Spectra®, Vectran®)

Viscosity: Not applicable (solid fiber construction)

Buoyancy: Near-neutral to positive buoyancy depending on material and construction

Material: Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), aramid, polyester, or hybrid composites

Breaking Strength: 5,000 kg to over 500,000 kg depending on diameter and construction

Elongation: Typically less than 3% at working load

UV Resistance: High (varies by coating and fiber type)

Abrasion Resistance: Excellent (varies by outer sheath material)

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most oils, solvents, and seawater

Temperature Range: -40°C to +80°C (varies by fiber type)

Weight: Lighter than steel wire rope (approx. 1/7th the weight)

Construction: Braided or parallel load-bearing fibers with protective outer sheath

Applications: Mooring lines, towing, lifting, rigging, and marine operations
