5/16" Control-DPX - Red (9,300 lb)

Control-DPX™ combines Dyneema® fiber and Samson's patented DPX™ technology into a strong, lightweight line that is winch and cleat friendly, while being incredibly easy on the hands.
DPX™ adds the grip and "soft-hand" feel of spun polyester to the lightweight strength of Dyneema fiber. The result is an easily spliced, 12-strand single braid that performs better on winches than other single braids, while retaining the great "feel" you want in a mainsheet or guy.

• Easy to handle
• Easy to splice
• High strength
• Lightweight
• Low stretch
• Runs through blocks without kinking
• Solid grip on winch drums


Heavy on the technical side...

Dynema® is the Dutch company DSM Dyneema's brand of UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene fiber), a long chain, high strength, oriented strand, synthetic fiber with very high strength as well as high abrasion resistance.
This fiber is also known as HMPE (High Modulus PolyEthylene).
Dyneema is available in a number of formulations, SK-60, SK-75, SK-78, SK-90, etc. Each progressively stronger and more expensive.

Honeywell International produces a similar UHMWPE fiber, marketed as Spectra®
