DZM Composite Double Braid

HMPE Core, Polyester Jacket, Double Braid

DZM Composite Jacketed ropes have very high strength, are firm with a round profile, and have extremely low stretch. These durable, torque free synthetic ropes are excellent for replacing steel wire rope in winch applications and are designed to withstand drum compression.

DZM ropes can be used in multiple applications such as vessel mooring lines for Articulated Tug & Barges (ATB’s), Gilson winch lines used in commercial fishing, as well as helicopter long lines.

DZM Jacketed ropes are constructed with a braided HMPE fiber core. This core is encased in a tightly braided jacket of Polyester that offers excellent abrasion resistance, UV resistance, and durability. The final construction of core and cover work in balance to provide excellent service life. This construction offers a firm round torque free rope that is designed for high layer spooling on single drum winches.
