Megaton-X Rope

MEGATON-X

Megaton-X Rope is a UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) rope.
It is made with IZANAS(R), an ultrahigh strength and high modulus fiber, to have the same strength as its wire rope counterpart of the same diameter while it is lighter than comparable wire ropes and many other high function fiber products.

*IZANAS (R) is a registered trademark of Toyobo in Japan.

Features :

- Light: Its specific gravity is 0.97. It floats in water.
- Strong: It is as strong as its wire rope counterpart of the same diameter.
- Abrasion resistant: It has the first rate abrasion resistance among comparable
  synthetic fiber products.
- Anti-twisting: It is a braided anti-twisting rope.

Material: IZANAS (R)
Strand: 12 strand
Color: Silver
