• Abrasion Resistance HMPE as a jacketing material, is a great example of the excellent abrasion resistance of high performance fibers. • Fatigue Resistance Aramid Fibers have exceptional bending and tensile fatigue resistance. • Safer Handling Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and completely eliminates fish hooks. • Dampening Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load dampening properties.
