Stronger than Amsteel, Amsteel Blue is a high-performance 12-strand single braid of 100% Dyneema® fiber. It is now available in a variety of colors. AmSteel-Blue yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio, very low stretch, and is stronger than the same sized wire rope constructions — yet it floats.
AmSteel-Blue features superior resistance to flex, fatigue, and wear. AmSteel-Blue is also used by arborists and tree care companies as a winch line for the winch on the company chipper or truck. The high strength of AmSteel-Blue makes it the best choice when entire trees need to be lifted or redirected.
This lines incredible strength to weight ratio comes from AmSteel-Blue's 12 strand Dyneema SK-78 fiber construction.
