The Dyneema Anchor Rode is a lightweight, high-strength synthetic rope alternative to traditional anchor chains. It offers superior strength-to-weight ratio and excellent abrasion resistance for marine anchoring. Unlike metal chains, it floats and reduces noise, making it ideal for modern boating applications.

Dyneema Anchor Rode:

- Material: Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)

- Size: 8mm to 16mm diameter (common sizes)

- Grade: SK75, SK78, or DM20 (high-tenacity Dyneema fibers)

- Viscosity: Not applicable (solid fiber)

- Buoyancy: Floats on water (near-neutral buoyancy)

- Breaking Strength: 5,000 kg to 20,000 kg (varies by diameter)

- Elongation: Less than 3% at working load

- UV Resistance: Moderate (requires cover or treatment for prolonged exposure)

Anchor Chains:

- Material: High-tensile steel (Grade 30, 40, or 70)

- Size: 6mm to 16mm diameter (common sizes)

- Grade: G30 (mild steel), G40 (high-test), G70 (alloy steel)

- Viscosity: Not applicable (solid metal)

- Buoyancy: Sinks (negative buoyancy)

- Breaking Strength: 2,000 kg to 20,000 kg (varies by grade and size)

- Elongation: Minimal (less than 1% under load)

- Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized or stainless steel options
