Synthetic Fiber Rope

SIGMA UHMWPE Rope

UHMWPE(Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Ropes) float in water making them significantly safer, their low stretch properties provide greater sensitivity and their low elongation combined with their low weight makes their handling easy and the manoeuvring of vessels extremely accurate especially in distress & critical times. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) ropes are 7-9 times stronger than steel (by weight) and 3 times stronger than Polyester of equal weight.

SIGMA UHMWPE Rope vs Steel Wire Rope
SIGMA UHMWPE Rope
- Light weight makes length limitless
- Neutrally buoyant
- Increase lifting capacity of winches and cranes
- Lighter deck loads
- Easy handling for crews and ROVs
Steel Wire Rope
- Heavy weight makes length limited
- Sinks in water
- Reduces lifting capacity of winches
- Difficult handling for crews and ROVs
01Key Advantage
  • ㆍStrength equivalent steel wire rope
  • ㆍKink / Torque Free
  • ㆍLight weight for easy service and
        repair on board
  • ㆍGood resistance and Long life span
  • ㆍLower snap-back for crew's safety
  • ㆍEnvironment protection & Cost savings by
        unusing lubricant
  • ㆍGood chemical resistance
  • ㆍFloating type to avoid propeller accident
02Application
  • ㆍTug Assist, Face & Wing Line
