Spectra rope is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and is characterized by exceptional properties. It is buoyant and retains its strength in wet conditions at 0% of its dry state. In knots, the strength is reduced by around 50 %. The elongation at break is around 4 %, which gives the rope a high degree of elasticity. With a melting point of 150°C, the rope is well protected against high temperatures. It offers excellent UV and weather resistance and is resistant to acids, oils and alkalis. These properties make the rope ideal for demanding applications in various environments.
