Amsteel Spectra 3mm per meter

Description:

The 3 mm Amsteel/Spectra line from Ozone is a high-performance replacement rope used in kite control and bar systems (for example, depower lines, trim blocks, bridles). Made with ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers—commonly known by brand names Amsteel, Spectra, or Dyneema—this rope offers exceptional strength, minimal stretch, abrasion resistance, and flotation.

Specifications:

• Diameter: 3 mm (≈ 1/8″) 

• Material:

  • 100% Spectra/Amsteel (UHMWPE)

  • Typically a 12-strand construction

  • Samthane-coated for abrasion resistance

• Strength:

  • Comparable to steel cable of the same diameter

  • West Marine datasheet lists 3 mm Dyneema as ~900–1,400 lb breaking strength 

  • Samson’s Amsteel Blue 3 mm averages ~2,500 lb (~1,130 kg) breaking strength

• Stretch (at 30% load):

  • ~0.96% elongation with UHMWPE 12-strand ropeFeatures:

  • Extremely low stretch

  • Floats on water

  • High abrasion and flex-fatigue resistance

  • Flexible, easy to splice, wire-rope replacement 

• Packaging: Sold by the metre, ideal for customizing depower or trim lines in bars and bridles
