With this technical line you will achieve optimised breaking strengths with nearly no creep due to the Liros Heat Stretch System.
Very resistant to abrasion, low weight and easy to splice are features that make this line the optimum for any application where very high strength and very low stretch are desired.
Colour is dark grey [smaller sizes are rather silvery and the larger sizes more slate coloured], also available with a Matt Black Polyester Covering.
- Generally higher breaking strength than wire rope with minimal weight.
- Working stretch less than 1.3% therefore no whiplash.
- Good choice for high load tab tracks or scenery carriers as this pure Dyneema rope has no outer cover to cause slippage on rope clamps.

A Word of Warning
Dyneema ropes are immensely strong but that doesn't necessarily mean they are a better choice for all applications. If a falling weight is arrested by a nylon or polyester rope, the rope will stretch and absorb a great deal of the shock loading. If a falling weight is arrested by a Dyneema line there will be virtually no stretch and huge impact forces are liable to break the line or tear out the anchor point.
I have seen many examples of "weaker" ropes successfully arresting falling weights while much "stronger" Dyneema ropes have failed. On the plus side, there will be no whiplash which is why many tug drivers are choosing Dyneema for their tow lines. So choose Dyneema when the loads are constant and the lack of stretch is advantageous. It can also be useful because of its smaller diameter to strength ratio.
