STS-HSR is crafted using a precisely controlled process that utilizes the optimal combination of temperature and tension. This technique leverages the creep-ability of Dyneema® rope's shorter fibers, allowing longer fibers to share the load and achieve a more balanced distribution. The end result is increased breaking strengths compared to non-heat-stretched ropes of the same diameter. This allows end users to utilize smaller diameters of STS-HSR, reducing overall line weight while maintaining equivalent or even higher levels of strength. Sold by Foot Stretch: 0.68% at 20% of breaking strength. If you're interested in having this line finished with Whippings or Splices, please indicate it in the order notes at checkout and we will contact you for further details.
