Strong connections for a better environment

Offshore & Trawl Supply is proud to announce that we now offer Dextron® ropes utilizing Bio-based Dyneema® fiber to our customers worldwide.

Technical characteristics and performance of Dextron® ropes utilizing Bio-based Dyneema® fiber are identical with those of conventional Dextron®, manufactured and supplied over years. The Bio-based Dyneema® fiber in question comes with ISCC certification and are thereby recognized as sustainable & renewable via mass-balancing.

The mass balancing approach can be explained in that the Ethylene feedstock used as basis to manufacture Dyneema® fiber is transitioned from traditional petrochemical sources to sustainable and renewable alternatives. The manufacturing process remains the same, the quality and the performance of the yarn keeps its excellence.
