Dynex
and
Dynex
Dux
These high strength synthetic ropes
are produced by Hampidjan of Iceland from DSM Dyneema fibre.
In a proprietory process the fibre is made into ropes that exceed the strength of steel cable but with a fraction of the weight.
Dynex does not store energy like a conventional rope or wire cable so the risk from recoil is largely eliminated as is hand injury from broken wire strands and back injury from lifting heavy cable.
This ease of handling also means faster turnaround, more productivity and time saved.
Developed originally for use in the marine and fishing industries the rope is a first choice to replace wire in towing, mooring and anchor systems.
Abrasion resistance is excellent in both Dynex and Dynex Dux, for special purposes the ropes can also be supplied with a variety of covers.
Extruded plastic, overbraided with Dynex or inside a sleeve of polyester are some of the options.
As well as the offshore industries Dynex is used by a wide range of other end users including the pulling of telecommunication and electricity cables both above and below ground and sea, helicopter lift cable, anchoring communication masts, stunts and special effects providers, the towing of sonar buoys and Dynex is widely accepted in the Defence Forces and Search and Rescue organisations.
Leisure uses for the ropes are also wide ranging, from grand prix yachting to everyday cruising,
(See Fibre
Rigging) 4 WD tow ropes, parasailing, hang gliding and climbing to name just a few.
Dynex as the following table illustrates is very high strength, Dynex Dux is even greater (see below).
The ropes can be supplied in almost any length, spliced if required and shipped anywhere.

DYNEX DUX 75
Pre-stretched braided rope with ultra high breaking strength
The Dynex Dux 75 is a new generation of ultra high performance ropes. It is far stronger than the Dynex 75 or by some 20% up to 43% in the smaller diameters. The rope is veryfirm and compact with smooth surface. Elongation is very low or about 3%.
The pre-stretching ensures that accurate length of rope can be measured directly withoutany pretension. The ropes are impregnated to improve abrasion resistance and endurance.
Lengths can be cut to customer requirements.

DYNEX Rope Constructions
Hampidjan’s
DYNEX 75 ropes are made from DSM’s Dyneema®
SK75 fibres. The main focus is on the
12-strand braided ropes which have proven very popular for their roundness and
smooth surface. These ropes combine
good strength retention with good flexibility and dynamic properties.
Termination is easy through splicing where up to 90% of linear strength is
retained.
Dyneema SK75 fibre
Density 0.97 g/cm3
Tenacity 3.5 N/tex
Modulus 120 N/tex
Elongation 3.7%
Melting point 144-152 °C
Resistance to chemicals Excellent
UV resistance Good
Flexibility Good
DYNEX Rope Properties
DYNEX ropes exceed
the strength of steel wire ropes of same diameter while floating on water. They have low elongation and are extremely flexible, yielding easy handling in all respects.
