If compared conventional fiber ropes with wire ropes, our S12 HMPE offers you extra high strength, low weight, superior fatigue, abrasion and UV resistance, flexibility, easy oneman handling and wire-like elongation characteristics. The application of coatings & heat setting procedures create gives an enhanced structural stability and an improved coefficient of friction, which are necessary for the optimum mooring & anchoring operations.

The application of specially designed coatings is a standard procedure for this highly advanced fiber which increases the coefficient of friction (in the cases of un-jacketed ropes) and improves dramatically the behavior when used in capstans, winches etc. without affecting their performance. In addition, S12 HMPE ropes have the lowest snap back reaction under load which is an advantage in favor of the safety on board for the personnel working near the ropes.

S12 HMPE ropes are produced according to ISO 10325 and acc to MEG4 OCIMF regulations, and are offered by Black Rope HMPE ropes come with 5 years warranty.
