Description
HOPEX DUO™ – UHMWPE & Polyester Rope
HOPEX DUO™ is a 12×12 construction rope made of UHMWPE fibres with a high-tenacity polyester jacket. The UHMWPE gives very high strength and low stretch, and the polyester jacket adds extra protection against wear on fairleads, bitts and winches. Its 12-strand braided design delivers high strength together with superior fatigue resistance and creep resistance for lines that work under load for long periods. WHR supplies this UHMWPE rope in Dubai and across the UAE.
Despite being a braided rope, HOPEX DUO is easy to splice, so eyes and repairs can be made on board. It absorbs no water and has the same strength wet or dry, with elongation at break of under 5%. It is used for mooring and towing lines, lifting slings, messenger lines, oceanographic cables, fish farming, wind farm lines and other offshore applications.
