Feature(may vary by option.)

●100% UHMWPE Braided Cord 1.3mm, 1.6mm, 2mm: 520~1000Lb high strength provided, hollow braid, spliceable for making whoopie slings, extra light. High adaption to wild outdoor environment, widely used as guy line, ridgeline for tent, tarp, rain fly and hammock, powerful cord at hand when camping, backpacking, survival, emergency, hunting, boating, etc.
●High Strength-to-weight Ratio! Made of 100% UHMWPE fiber (UHMWPE is known as different trade names, like dyneema, spectra by different manufacturers), yields highest strength in lightest weight, 15 times stronger than steel by weight. Holds greatest energy in lightest weight! Weighs much less than nylon and polyester cord, also much less bulkier, excellent for outdoor carry.
●LEAST STRETCH! Stretch annoys much in hauling, rigging and other applications. UHMWPE almost has no stretch under working load. This feature really does a great help in saving labors.
●TANGLE RESIST! Smooth to touch, slick to move on most surface and stiff. These features make line less tangle prone. No more tangling trouble during use and organization. We also have UHMWPE line wound in a spool to help well organize.
●LONG WEAR LIFE! UHMWPE is capable to resist intense abrasion and wear during use. With tight and firm braid, our UHMWPE line has a long service life for you! With low moisture absorbency, resistance to most chemicals, to UV, to severe abrasion and wear, our high strength UHMWPE line will do a lot of help for you in outdoor life and youll find a great deal of applications out of it.

15x Stronger than Steel

UHMWPE Cords yield extremely high strength (15x stronger than steel by weight ratio) in a compact size and lightweight. Compared to utility cords or mil-spec paracords made of nylon/polyester, UHMWPE cords are much lighter and far less bulkier, convenient for outdoor carry, and easy storage with spools.

Tough Cord for Outdoor

As high-tech performance cords, UHMWPE has unbeatable durability in excellent resistance to UV, chemicals, abrasion (comparable to Kevlar), almost no absorption to water, advanced cords for both home and outdoor uses, superior substitutes to steel wires, especially in water use.

Creep Resistance

Being of very low stretch, and highly resistant to creep, to flex-fatigue, UHMWPE cords have a better tendency to keep strength and retain shapes under loading. Longer service life, and much reducing replacement frequency for your most works.

Spliceable

Of 12 strands hollow braid, and inherently self-lubricating, the cords are easy to splice, MAKE YOUR OWN GEARS (MYOG) like continuous loops, adjustable whoopie slings, soft shackles (>1/16"/1.6mm cord recommended) for hammocks, tents, tarps, tree works, biking tie-down, etc.

Endless Outdoor Uses

UHMWPE/HMPE, Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, known as different trade names as Dyneema, and Spectra by different manufacturers).

Due to its high durability and unbeatable resistance to abrasion, UV, and chemicals, UHMWPE provides endless solutions for outdoor applications, especially in marine uses.

1.3mm,1.6mm, 2mm UHMWPE braided cord for uses in:

  • Guyline: securely tie out tent, rainfly, tarp, to the ground;
  • Ridgeline: set the sag of the hammocks;
  • Rigging line: bear bagging to hang your food at night;
  • Throw line;
  • Emergency fishing line and utility cords outdoors;
  • Kite Flying line: for giant kites, bridle line for stunts, traction kites;

How to seal the end?

  • Heat cut the cord and the end will self-sealed.
  • Use whipping twine to whip the cord/rope ends or spliced eye for extra security.

About Color Fastness

  • UHMWPE fibers dont take dye very well, and it’s normal that the color will fade after exposure to water, frictions, and handlings overuse.
  • HMPE CORDs keep high performance that won’t be influenced by color fading.

On Spool

  • Easy storage
  • Fast to deploy in use

Working Load Limit (WLL) = 20% of Tensile Strength, for the longevity of the cord and safe uses

Tensile Strength

Also known as the labeled strength, is the average testing strength at which the new and unused cord would break when tested in laboratory condition in accordance with Cordage Institute Standard Test Methods. The load, applied in parallel to the cord, slowly increases until the cord breaks.

Working Load Limit (WLL)

In practical uses, various factors would impact or reduce the strength of any rope/cord, including knots in the rope, abrasion, humidity, UV, former use and care, etc. To assure safe uses, its indispensable to adopt a safety margin in the cord/rope strength, which leads to Working Load Limit (WLL).

The Working Load Limit (WLL) is determined by dividing the tensile strength by a safety factor. To assure the longevity of the cord and maintain a comfortable margin for safe uses, a 5:1 safety factor (20% of the tensile strength) is adopted and recommended for emma kites UHMWPE cord for general applications.
