Description
HOPEX PLUS™ – UHMWPE Core, Polyester Jacket
HOPEX PLUS™ is a core-and-jacket rope: a 12-strand UHMWPE core carries the load, and a braided high-tenacity polyester jacket protects it. The construction is non-rotating and torque-free, so the rope will not kink. Its round, firm structure gives a secure grip on winch drums, capstans and fairleads. WHR supplies this core and jacket rope in Dubai and across the UAE.
The polyester jacket gives excellent wear resistance and greatly increases the service life of the rope, which suits lines that run through winches and over hard surfaces day after day. HOPEX PLUS absorbs no water, has the same strength wet or dry and has under 5% elongation at break. It is used for mooring, towing and winch lines, lifting slings, messenger lines, oceanographic cables, fish farming, wind farm lines and offshore work.
