Size: 6mm to 120mm diameter
Grade: High-performance synthetic fibers (e.g., Dyneema, Spectra, Vectran)
Viscosity: N/A (solid fibers, no fluid properties)
Buoyancy: Neutral to slightly positive buoyancy depending on material and construction
Material: Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), aramid, polyester, or hybrid blends
Breaking Strength: 10 kN to 2,000 kN (varies by diameter and material)
Elongation: Low (1-3% at working load) for high-modulus fibers
UV Resistance: High (coated or treated fibers for extended outdoor use)
Abrasion Resistance: Excellent (dependent on outer sheath or coating)
Temperature Range: -40°C to +80°C (operational limits vary by material)
Weight: Lighter than steel wire ropes (approx. 1/7th the weight)
Construction: Braided or parallel core with protective outer sheath
Applications: Mooring, towing, lifting, and rigging in marine environments
