New England Ropes STS-WR2 Dyneema SK75 Rope

New England Rope's STS-WR ² Wire Rope is a lightweight and flexible rope designed to be a replacement for lifelines and selected standing rigging.

Features:

• Comprised of Dyneema® SK75 - perfect wire rope replacement for lifelines and select standing rigging
• Lighter and more flexible, with a much longer service life than wire
• Very little degradation from sunlight - can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly
• Chemicals: HMPE has good resistance to most minerals, organics, acids, and weak alkalines
  • HMPE also has excellent resistance to bleaches and other oxidizing agents and to most solvents
• Melts at 300F with progressive strength loss above 150F
• Good resistance to the passage of electrical current
  • Dirt, surface contaminants, water entrapment, and the like can significantly affect dielectric properties
  • Extreme caution should be exercised any time a rope is in the proximity of live circuits
