I have introduced two new lines that I think will be of interest to the hammock world..
One is called Dyneema Ironwire. Its basically a reflective version of Zing It. Its a 1.75mm Dyneema 8 strand single braid that comes in reflective and non reflective. It is made using SK78 which has the same strength as the more common SK75 but has less stretch and less creep. The line weighs .95oz per 50' and since its a single braid its splice-able. The urethane is applied at the filament level so this is as good as it gets for a color coating as its not just on the outside of the braid. I am offering it in just orange for now but will add other colors in the coming months. Break is 400lbs Reflective and 450lbs Non Reflective
The other line is called Reflective Whoopie Line. This is a 2.3mm Dyneema 16 strand single braid that was designed for whoopie slings. It also is made using Dyneema SK78 yarn. But instead of making this line in 8 strand like Amsteel or 12 strand like Dynaglide. I used a 16 strand construction to make the center more hollow and and the line easier to splice. Its sized right between 1.8mm Dynaglide and 7/64" Amsteel. I am starting off with just orange for this line as well and it features the same ultra-durable coating. Break is 1200lbs Reflective and 1250lbs Non Reflective. I plan to offer this line in more colors as well as larger diameters for more strength.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
