Strength of Steel with the Feel of Silk
Silkdura
Introducing Silkdura, a revolutionary fiber material crafted from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) that is transforming the marine industry. Engineered for excellence, Silkdura offers exceptional strength and durability, often surpassing stainless steel in terms of tensile strength while being significantly lighter. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of marine applications, including ropes, standing rigging, and chafe protection. Its remarkable properties ensure reliability and performance even under the harshest conditions.
One of Silkdura’s standout features is its buoyancy; it floats on water, which simplifies handling and recovery operations. Additionally, its low stretch and UV resistance ensure that it maintains structural integrity and performance over time, even in the face of intense sunlight and environmental stressors. Smooth like silk yet incredibly tough, Silkdura combines sleek aesthetics with durability, making it a premium choice for marine professionals who demand the best in both functionality and resilience.
