Everything you need to know about Lida Rope mooring ropes β materials, customization, ordering, and factory support
Lida Rope mooring ropes are mainly made of five materials:
- UHMWPE β Highest strength, lightest weight
- Polyester β Abrasion-resistant, low elongation
- Nylon β Excellent elasticity, high energy absorption

- PP/PES Mixed β Combines lightweight of PP with strength of polyester, balancing performance and cost
