Delta HMPE 12x12 3-1/4" (80mm) – By the Foot

Delta HMPE® 12x12 12x12 Rope – 3-1/4" (80mm) | Coated UHMWPE Rope Sold by the Foot

The Delta HMPE® 12x12 12x12 rope from HMPE Warehouse is a premium coated UHMWPE fiber rope engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. Sold by the foot so you get exactly the length you need — no wasted material, no paying for rope you won't use.

The 12x12 construction delivers a round, torque-free profile that runs smoothly over sheaves, capstans, and winch drums without kinking or coil memory. A pigment-dye coating enhances abrasion resistance and provides UV protection, extending rope life in prolonged outdoor and marine exposure.

UHMWPE fiber gives Delta 12x12 one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios available in any commercial cordage — pound-for-pound stronger than steel, yet light enough to float with a specific gravity of just 0.97 kg/dm³. The rope has zero water absorption, so breaking strength remains unchanged whether deployed dry or fully submerged. Both wet and dry abrasion resistance are rated excellent, making it equally reliable in marine and land-based operations.

With working stretch under 1.5%, Delta 12x12 provides the low-elongation, predictable load behavior that professional rigging demands. The rope is easy to splice, does not kink, and maintains its flexibility and durability across thousands of load cycles.

Delta 12x12 is the same rope at the core of our full line of Delta HMPE slings, soft shackles, and recovery ropes. Purchasing it by the foot gives riggers, splicers, and fabricators the freedom to build custom assemblies, replacement tails, and specialty rigging to their own specifications.
