Dyneema Ropes

Dyneema Rope is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre braided rope utilizing DSR's proprietary rope design and manufacturing expertise.

With highest tensile strength per weight, it is stronger than the steel wire rope of same diameter, and it weighs only 1/8 of the weight of the steel wire rope. Treated with DSR's unique coating process and special heat treatment process to enhance its anti-abrasion characteristics. Dyneema fiber is super strong yet lightweight and ensures that you have the most reliable, safe and durable rope solution. Ropes with Dyneema provide extraordinary performance in the most demanding conditions.
