Description
HOPEX MIX™ – UHMWPE & Polyester Mixed Rope
HOPEX MIX™ is made from a blend of UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and high-tenacity polyester fibres. The result is a light, high-strength rope with better abrasion and cut resistance than standard high modulus polyethylene ropes. WHR supplies this UHMWPE mixed rope in Dubai and across the UAE.
The polyester content gives the rope a higher coefficient of friction, so it grips securely on winches, H-bitts and capstans. HOPEX MIX floats, absorbs no water and keeps its strength wet or dry. It is available in 8-strand and 12-strand construction for tug main lines, mooring, anchor and offshore work.
