Amsteel Blue® is the latest development of HMPE Dyneema® fiber in a twelve-strand braided rope utilizing Parallay design with blue Samthane urethane coating and manufactured by Samson Rope. This twelve-strand braided rope yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and is stronger than wire rope constructions, yet it floats. It also has the best flex-fatigue and wear resistance when compared to products made of HMPE or post-drawn HMPE fibers. Specific Gravity: 0.98
Features
- Other colors available on request
- Size for size, the same strength as steel
- Extremely low stretch
- Superior wear and flex fatigue
- Torque free and UV stabilized

Compliance to the above specifications is based upon testing according to the Cordage Institute Standard Testing Methods for Fiber Rope and/or ASTM D-4268 Standard Methods of Testing Fiber Ropes.
Weights: Are average and may vary +/- 5%.
Tensile strengths: Are approximate average for new, unused ropes. To estimate the minimum tensile strength of a new rope, reduce the approximate average by 15% (Cordage Institute defines minimum tensile strength as two standard deviations below the average tensile strength of the rope).
