HOPEX™ soft shackle offers superior strength, durability, and versatility. Made from high-modulus HMPE rope, it is lightweight, rust-resistant, and floats in water, which making them to be an ideal to instead of steel shackle.
It's a high performance and best rope used for extreme high temperature working condition.It is fatigue and abrasion resistant, with the ability to absorb dynamic loads for long periods of time. The jacket of this construction can be repaired and replaced to offer longer service lifetime.
Mooring tails provide good elasticity and sudden shock absorption when windy weather or big wave comes, it's a necessary protection for primary mooring line .
This structure is non - rotative and torque free construction, the rope will not kink, round and firm structure makes rope grip well. Also braided Jacket enhance rope with excellent wear resistance and increase the Structure: UHMWPE 12-strand Load-bearing Core & Polyester Braided Jacketservice life of the rope.
HOPEX MIX is crafted from a blend of UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and High Tenacity Polyester fibers, offering a lightweight yet high-strength solution. This rope provides superior abrasion and cut resistance, coupled with a higher coefficient of friction compared to other high modulus polyethylene ropes. It floats, grips securely on winches or capstans, and demonstrates excellent durability.
Double braid rope is non - rotative and torque free construction, the rope will not kink, round and firm structure makes rope grip well. Also double braid construction is very flexible and enhance rope with high strength and excellent wear resistance.
Made of high tenacity polyolefin fiber, which is the stronger rope among PP, PE and Polyolefin ropes. Excellent breaking strength and remarkable abrasion resistance.
Mooring tails provide good elasticity and sudden shock absorption when windy weather or big wave comes, it's a necessary protection for primary mooring line .
This combination makes the rope with extremely high strength & low stretch, 7 times stronger than steel ropes and 3 times stronger than polyester (on a weight by weight comparison). The braided jacket offers superior resistance to UV & chemicals, more wear resistance, excellent gripping properties and a torque - free construction.
