Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Lida Rope mooring ropes – materials, customization, ordering, and factory support

🧡What materials are Lida Rope mooring ropes made of?
+

Lida Rope mooring ropes are mainly made of five materials:

  • UHMWPE – Highest strength, lightest weight
  • Polyester – Abrasion-resistant, low elongation
  • Nylon – Excellent elasticity, high energy absorption
  • Polypropylene (PP) – Floats on water, easy to handle, cost-effective
  • PP/PES Mixed – Combines lightweight of PP with strength of polyester, balancing performance and cost

We can recommend the most suitable material based on your vessel type and working environment.

πŸ“ŠWhat is the Minimum Break Load (MBL) of your ropes? Do you provide certificates?
+

MBL depends on diameter and material. For example, a 32mm UHMWPE rope has an MBL of over 60 tons.
Every batch comes with an in-house test report. Third-party testing or classification society certificates (CCS, DNV, ABS, LR, etc.) are available upon request – please discuss in advance.

β˜€οΈAre the ropes resistant to seawater corrosion and UV?
+

Yes. All Lida Rope mooring ropes are treated with UV stabilizers and pass salt-spray corrosion tests, making them suitable for long-term marine use.

After use, rinse with fresh water to remove salt and sand, then air dry naturally (avoid direct sunlight). Store coiled in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from chemicals, heat sources, and rodents.
