2mm Dyneema Cord (Updated Price)

[Quixoticgeek]

[EDIT: note the price quoted in this post has been reduced, see [post=1454377]post 19[/post] in the thread for new pricing.]

I would like to organize a group buy for some 2mm Dyneema cord. It's

• 280kg Breaking strain
• Low stretch
• Light weight (~30g for 10m)
• Works with mini line loks
• SK75 with a polyester outer (for the line geeks amoung us)

I need to order it in lots of 200M, and prices are:

Length	Bacs Price	Paypal Price
10m	£4.53	£4.89
20m	£7.88	£8.35
30m	£11.63	£12.24
40m	£14.97	£15.70
50m	£19.81	£20.71
60m	£23.16	£24.17
70m	£26.50	£27.63
80m	£29.84	£31.09
90m	£33.18	£34.55
100m	£36.53	£38.01

These prices include UK postage (2nd class), for international, please send a pm.

It comes in White, Yellow, Red and Black, I need enough orders to make 200m of each colour to make it work. It is on a reel so if you want 30m, tick off 3 slots, it will be supplied as one length unless you ask otherwise.

Hi J.

Could you add a bit more info on the cord is for us all? Single braid, polyester covered, type of Dyneema fibre or generic UHMWPE. ?

Thanks.

 

[Quixoticgeek]

The manufacturer lists it as:

"This rope uses the very latest generation of HMPE from DSM High Performance Fibres in the inner core"

It is English Braid on Braid.

In day light tomorrow I will try to post a photo.

Good stuff J, aplologies for being a line geek.

If it's DSM proper Dyneema, it should be listed as a SK number with 70, 75, 78,90 etc after it. The cover material should be listed too.

I do not have that data to hand, but I will try to get hold of it for you asap.

Will let you know.

Do not apologise for being a line geek, it's a useful thing to know.

Thanks

SK75 with a polyester outer is the answer. Made by English Braids.

Thanks

I don't mean to interfere ... and am always grateful for people starting group buys ... but I just bought a load of cord from Jimmy Green Marine (from a suggestion on a thread on BCUK) and a 30m reel of Marlow Excel Pro 2mm cord cost me £6.60 ... a 17m reel of the same cord in 3mm cost £6.60 too.

Just thought it worth mentioning in case it saves you all a bit of cash. https://www.jimmygreen.co.uk/products/dinghy-ropes---rigging/dinghy-rope-deals

That 30m roll, including postage comes in at 10.55. vs 11.63 for the stuff in the group buy. *BUT* the Marlow Excel Pro is 92kg breaking strain, whereas the stuff in the group buy is 280kg.

Thanks

Thanks for looking it up and getting back to me ... I should have looked at the breaking strain more carefully - I have looked at (and bought lol) a lot of cord off the web this weekend.

Like I said, I didn't mean to interfere or undermine - I was just pointing out the Jimmy Green stuff was there.

Thanks,

Not a problem. There is a lot of cord out there, but it isn't all created equal. I've been trying to find something to replace my paracord with that has the same properties of weight and utility. This cord seems to do the job and do it well.

This looks like great stuff with loads of uses at a good price.

Just to point out the obvious, this is not for making hammock whoopie slings out of, for that you need 680kg 2.5mm 7/64" Dyneema 8-12 strand that can be spliced. A noob may not know so I thought I'd say.

I am not currently a hammock dweller, so hadn't actually even considered whoopie slings as something to make with this cord. I use it for all sorts but mainly as guy lines on my tarp.

But thank you for the warning. Am assuming at 30-60m orders that others have placed, they are not intending whoopie slings with this cord...

Nope, not me - ridge & guy lines for me!

 

[Quixoticgeek]

So, it seems that with a little bit more research, the price changes down. This is the same stuff, everything else stays the same, just it works out a bit cheaper.

Length	Bacs Price	Paypal Price
10m	£3.97	£4.31
20m	£6.75	£7.19
30m	£9.94	£10.49
40m	£12.72	£13.37
50m	£17.00	£17.80
60m	£19.78	£20.68
70m	£22.56	£23.55
80m	£25.34	£26.43
90m	£28.12	£29.31
100m	£30.90	£32.19

I assume those who have already requested are happy with the reduced cost.

Thanks
