A strong, non-sticky, on-the-ground whipping Twine.
[Material: UHMWPE]
These high-strength, UV-resistant,
wax-free, non-sticky, solution-dyed
fibers are resistant to fading and color transfer.
[Flat yarn offers many advantages]
The 6-strand braided thread (0.8 x 0.4 mm) provides excellent whipping coverage, is less likely to thicken, and makes contact
with the needle over a wide area, thus minimizing the widening of the needle hole.
[A bobbin designed with the user in mind]
It comes with a needle and can be stored in the bobbin.
Five end-securing points make it easy to fix the thread end.
It's a small, thick, and just-right size.
[Product Specifications]
UHMWPE 0.8mm (breaking strength 23kg),
Available in 6 colors, 25m length,
55 x 20mm bobbin (with needle storage).
Things that are possible because of high strength
UHMWPE is a high-strength fiber also known by names such as Dyneema®. Due to its high strength and resistance to ultraviolet rays, it is far more resistant to breakage than common polyester twine or commercially available string, for example, when joining lead ropes during halyard replacement, thus reducing the risk of the lead rope coming loose during replacement work.
Precautions for use
This product is made of extremely fine, high-strength fibers. If it comes into contact with your body while taut, the thin threads may dig in and cause injury. UHMWPE is not suitable for heat treatment of the ends, so we recommend finishing
by sewing or tying. Also, since it is a very slippery fiber, it is recommended to leave a slight "tail" at the end.
