Twisted Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Twine (UHMWPE)
- Exceptional strength to weight ratio
- UHMWPE twine is 15 times stronger than steel pound for pound
- Very little stretch or elasticity
- Will float
- Will not absorb water
- Light weight
- Not as abrasion resistant as braided UHMWPE twine
- Stronger than braided UHMWPE
- Uncoated fiber is soft to the touch- easy on your hands
- Various coatings are available to increase abrasion resistance and knot holding ability
- The cost per pound, per foot or meter is much higher than traditional polyethylene, nylon or polyester
- Ideal where an extremely strong, low stretch twine is needed
