What Is High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) Mooring Rope?
Technical White Paper Based on Documented Material Properties, Comparative Charts, and Manufacturing Process Flow. Executive Summary HMPE mooring rope (documented as UHMWPE rope) is a high-strength fiber rope with density 0.97 g/cm³, operating temperature −125°C to 70°C, no moisture absorption, strong sunlight/UV resistance, and very good resistance to acid/alkali/chemical corrosion, with excellent abrasion and fatigue resistance. This paper consolidates the document’s properties, comparative performance statements, durability evaluation, and manufacturing process flow into a structured, data-first technical reference.
