Dyneema / Polyester Cord (1.5mm, 16 windings) per meter

The Ideal Guy Line Companion for the Line-Lok Mini: Ultra Light, Ultra Strong

Phenomenally strong and incredibly light, Dyneema is a high density polyethylene polymer. This guyline cord has a dyneema core with a 16 windings polyester cover. It's very tear resistant, stretches very little and is UV-inert (so won't weaken from sun exposure). It has a breaking strength of 120 kg (125daN) and at just 1.6g per meter is insanely lightweight. This cordage is the ideal choice for the Clamcleat Line-Lok mini (Clamcleat are the industry leader for cord adjusters).

About Dyneema

Dyneema® is an UHMwPE (Ultra High Molecular weight Polyethylene) or HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) fibre developed by DSM in the Netherlands some 30 years ago. Known as the world’s strongest, lightest fiber – 15 times stronger than steel, yet floats on water – Dyneema® works to stop bullets, repair human joints and improve the longevity of apparel. So what makes Dyneema® so special?

• High Strength: On a weight for weight basis, Dyneema® is 15 times stronger than steel wire.
• Light Weight: Size for size, a rope made with Dyneema® is 8 times lighter than steel wire rope.
• Water resistant: Dyneema® is hydrophobic and does not absorb water, meaning it remains light when working in wet conditions.
• UV Resistant: Dyneema® has very good resistance to photo degradation, maintaining its performance when exposed to UV light
