Samson Amsteel Blue SK-78 Dyneema
The AmSteel-Blue Line is a high-performance, 12-strand single braid made from 100% Dyneema fiber, offering exceptional strength and durability. Notably, it boasts a superior strength-to-weight ratio and very low stretch, making it stronger than comparable wire rope while remaining lightweight enough to float. With its low-stretch, high-flex fatigue resistance, and excellent wear durability, AmSteel-Blue is ideal for demanding tasks and heavy-duty applications. Its Samthane coating further enhances its abrasion and cut resistance.
Recommended for split-drum winch applications, AmSteel-Blue should not be used on H-bitts, capstans, or cleats where surging or rendering the rope is necessary. It has been verified by ABS according to MEG4 standards and is type-approved by ABS, BV, DNV, Lloyd's, and RMRS. With options for sustainable, bio-sourced fibers, AmSteel-Blue allows you to reduce your environmental impact without compromising quality or strength. For heavy-duty tasks requiring a strong, lightweight alternative to nylon rope, AmSteel-Blue is a top choice.
