Mechanical and physical properties

* The values reported in the table were measured on eye-spliced samples of new product and in laboratory conditions. Variations up to 25% can occur with poor splices or very short lengths. Presence of knots may reduce tensile strength by over 50%. In order to preserve the properties of the product and to avoid premature failures, the working load must never exceed 20% of the breaking strengths shown in the table above. Furthermore, due to the physical properties of Dyneema®, the product should never be used in environments with temperature higher than 50°C. The product should never get in contact with sharp edges when loaded. Neither Gottifredi Maffioli S.p.A. nor its suppliers will in any circumstances be liable for any damage arising out of the improper use of the product: any use of the product violating at any time the prescriptions reported in this note, will be considered improper and inappropriate.
