Dyneema SK75

Dyneema SK75 is made from ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene and is an extremely high-strength, low-stretch rope. Dyneema is stronger than steel cable, floats on water and is extremely resistant to abrasion. It is commonly used to replace steel cable when weight is an issue. It also makes an excellent material for winch cables.
