Designed specifically for mooring production facilities in deep waters, DSM’s new 'ultra high strength at low weight’ Dyneema® DM20 fiber delivers rope strength, stiffness, durability and longevity. Properties and Benefits: Laboratory tests demonstrate that ropes made from DM20 fiber retain the property characteristics of Dyneema®, even under long-term high tensions. Critical behavioral qualities, such as high static strength and stiffness, exceptional abrasion, fatigue and creep resistance enable a smaller, lighter rope to deliver improved performance and operational benefits. This product now offers all the benefits of ropes made with Dyneema® to the markets of permanently loaded applications, one of them being offshore production mooring. Dyneema® Max Technology offers benefits across the planning, system design, logistics, hook-up and installation stages of offshore mooring ropes. They guarantee not just maximum strength over a maximum lifetime, but improved handling and workforce safety. Thanks to its phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio and small diameter, far more rope can now be transported and stored on vessels. Longer ropes, fewer trips and the opportunity to choose from more vessels of opportunity deliver even more operational cost savings. |
