APS - Dynex Dux 75 Single Braid

Dynex Dux 75 - Hampidjan

Construction: 100% Heat Set Dyneema SK-75

Have you ever noticed how the more a handle of supermarket bags stretch the stronger they become? Well, the same idea has been applied to this cordage by Hampidjan called Dynex Dux 75. This twelve strand braided line made from ultra high molecular weight polyethelene, refined by DSM in the Netherlands and known to the sailing world as Dyneema, is “pre-stretched” by Hampidjan through heating under tension to further align and compact fiber structure resulting in a “new” generation of ultra high performance rope.

Up to 20-40% stronger than typical Dyneema/Spectra, and UV and abrasion inhibiter impregnated for superior abrasion resistance and longevity, Dynex Dux 75 does not suffer from the creep, or static load elongation, seen in other fibers while remaining incredible strong and lightweight. Developed originally for use in the marine towing and fishing industries Dynex Dux 75 is a great alternative to more expensive and less durable PBO. We see it being used in applications such as stripped Farr 40 halyards and uncovered steering cables as well as guys, backstays, or anywhere else creep is intolerable and weight saving crucial. For better handling or cleating we can cover all or part of Dynex Dux 75 with a polyester or hi-tech jacket.
