Bio-based Dyneema® – Highest performance meets sustainability

Bio-based Dyneema® stands for the complete production of rope fibres under organic conditions. The petroleum component naphtha is replaced by organic naphtha derived from sustainably managed, certified forests, in a strictly controlled mass balancing procedure. Compared to conventional petroleum-based manufacturing, this bio-based alternative significantly reduces the carbon footprint without compromising strength, reliability or durability.

Cleaning ropes:
Please note the following when cleaning/washing polyester and Dyneema ropes:

  • Hand wash (SVB recommendation):
    • Place the rope in a large bucket or bathtub and fill with warm water.
    • Clean the rope thoroughly with your hands.
    • Do not use regular washing powder (you can find a possible alternative here).
    • Do not use fabric softener.
    • Then wash the rope with clean water.
  • Washing machine:
    • Only wash rope in a cotton bag.
    • Wash at a maximum of 30 degrees.
    • Do not use regular washing powder (you can find a possible alternative here).
    • Do not use fabric softener.
  • Do not tumble dry the rope.
    • After washing, allow the ropes to drip dry (protected from UV radiation).

Keeps what it promises
I was looking for a jib halyard for a self-tacking jib on a cutter stay with extremely low stretch. It worked really well. At least in the first season, because I haven't had it for much longer than that.

Can this rope be spliced using the normal Splicing options sold by SVB? I do not see it included in options for the various splice types.
