WHY DYNEEMA® BEATS STEEL.

WHICH INDUSTRIES HAVE ALREADY SWITCHED FROM STEEL TO DYNEEMA®?

WHY DYNEEMA® BEATS STEEL WIRE ROPE.

WHICH ROPES CAN BE REPLACED BY ROPES WITH DYNEEMA®?

MORE SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE.

STRONGDyneema® is the world’s

strongest fiber. A rope with Dyneema®

is up to 7x stronger than steel wire rope at

the same weight.

REDUCED OPERATING DOWNTIME:It only takes 30 minutes to replace a damaged rope. And it only needs one person.

EASY HANDLING:The lightweight, synthetic rope is easier to handle and requires no lubrication resulting in improved productivity and less maintenance.

PEOPLE:Rope handling is easier and breakages of ropes under strain result in minimal backlash as a result of the rope being 7 times lighter than steel wire.

LIGHTRopes with Dyneema® on draglines are light enough to be lifted by

one person. This makes them much faster to inspect and replace,

increasing productivity.

SAFEDyneema® is a light man-made fiber that

gives much less backlash if it breaks.

It is safer for equipment, and for people who

work with it.
