Description
HOPEX™ 12×12 – UHMWPE Rope
HOPEX™ 12×12 is built from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre in a 12×12 construction: each of the 12 main strands is itself a braided strand. This design gives a more balanced load distribution through the rope than a traditional 12-strand HMPE rope, with higher strength and flexibility. The result is greater durability and performance under heavy, repeated loads. WHR supplies this 12×12 HMPE rope in Dubai and across the UAE.
Like all HOPEX ropes, the 12×12 floats, absorbs no water and keeps 100% of its strength when wet, with less than 4% elongation at break. It is made for the large diameters used by tankers, bulk carriers, LNG vessels and offshore units. Typical uses are mooring and towing lines, anchor and offshore lines, lifting slings, messenger lines, oceanographic cables and wind farm work.
