Making a constrictor termination How can you make a constrictor termination? Whipping is not the only solution for ending a rope. Simple and faster to accomplish, the “constrictor termination” is also very solid. Its other advantage is that it does not get stuck in clutches, cleats or blocks. It is also very aesthetic!Julien explains smoothly…
Creep, elongation: should this be a source of worry ? When one speaks about Dyneema® rope creeping, what is it exactly? One often confuses elongation resulting from construction, elongation at break and creeping. What is pre-stretching on a rope? How elastic are the fibres? From which working load does creeping begin? Is it a constraint…
Which fibre for which application ? Which rope should be used for your ropes, halyards and mooring lines? Choosing the right fibre according to its use, guarantees your ropes’ performance, durability and reliability. Ino-Rope has established a comparison between different types of fibres to guide you with your choices. Comparative table of different fibres Polyester:…
How does the spliced eye on hollow braid work? What is a modern splice? With this video, you will understand the basis of what is known as modern seamanship, i.e. the art of making splices on ropes whose structure is a hollow braid. The principle consists of tucking part of the braid inside itself, here…

Splice or knot on Dyneema®? Ino-Rope compared the resistance of a splice and a knot (snubbing-hitch) on a Dyneema® rope, using a tensile bench equipped with an electronic scale. The result is very instructive: proof with images!
Polyester vs. Dyneema® in traction Elongation and strength: polyester vs Dyneema Polyester and Dyneema® are both oil-derived fibres with very different properties. Ino-Rope has tested their elasticity and breaking load on a tensile bench. Polyester vs Dyneema®
