Q1 BLACK
UHMWPE in a black variant
Our black UHMWPE cord, also known as Dyneema® cord, is the perfect choice for applications requiring maximum strength and a stylish, deep black appearance. Made with black UHMWPE yarns, this cord is not only functional but also visually appealing. Unlike cords that are simply dyed black, this cord retains its color for a long time, even under heavy loads and UV exposure.
Advantages of black UHMWPE cord:
- Extremely strong: UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is up to 15 times stronger than steel at the same weight class.
- Deep black: Made with black yarns for an intense, long-lasting color.
- Light weight: Ideal for applications where weight plays a role, such as water sports, industry and outdoor.
- UV resistant: Resistant to sunlight and weather influences.
- Minimum stretch: Very low elongation under load, ensuring reliable performance.
Applications:
Black Dyneema® cord is widely used in:
- Professional water sports (such as kitesurfing and sailing)
- Industrial lifting and pulling applications
- Theatre and events (invisible hanging systems)
- Outdoor and survival gear
- Custom projects where aesthetics and strength come together
