Dyneema® SK78 braid – Color – No short braid

Description

Braided Dyneema® SK78 Color no short braid (tight)

It’s a simple, high-quality 12 plait braid made by Robline, with very low stretch and good abrasion and UV resistance. It’s always useful to have a few lengths on board in case of trouble.

If the chemical name “high-modulus polyethylene” doesn’t ring a bell, you’ve probably heard of Dyneema ® or Spectra ®, the two brands marketed respectively by DSM Dyneema™ and Honeywell™. With a similar elongation at break but higher breaking strength than aramid fibers (eight times that of stainless steel), high-modulus polyethylene has rapidly replaced them in industrial (oil rig mooring, for example) and military applications. The advantage of Dyneema® is that it resists UV rays as well asabrasion.

Advantages:

• Low elongation, stable length under heavy load
• Excellent stiffness
• Abrasion and bending radius resistance
• Easy to splice
