UHMwPE Hollow Flat Braid (White, Uncoated)
This product is a versatile, high-performance hollow flat braid constructed from 32 plait or 48 plait Stealth fiber, a type of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE). The solution yarn dyeing process ensures excellent color stability, and this particular version is left uncoated. The hollow flat braid design makes it highly flexible and ideal for splicing or using as lightweight, high-strength soft shackles and core material.
