The Dyneema Hollow Braid - Brailight SK78 with Geothane® Coating is a high-performance rope designed for rigging maneuvers and the creation of textile shackles. Manufactured by MEYER-SANSBOEUF, this rope offers exceptional strength and durability, making it ideal for various marine applications.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Provides strength comparable to steel cables at a fraction of the weight.
- Low Elongation: Less than 3% elongation at 50% of the break load, ensuring minimal stretch under load.
- Abrasion Resistance: Coated with Geothane® for enhanced protection against wear and tear.
- UV and Chemical Resistance: Resistant to UV rays and various chemicals, extending the rope's lifespan.
- Buoyant and Rot-Proof: Floats on water and is impervious to rot, making it suitable for marine environments.
- Easy Splicing: Facilitates straightforward splicing, allowing for custom lengths and configurations.
Technical Specifications:
- Composition: 12-strand braid made from 100% Dyneema® SK78 fibers.
- Coating: Geothane® coating applied for high abrasion protection.
