Super-Q12

A high-tenacity floating rope engineered for superior grip and performance on capstans, winches, and bitts. Super-Q12 combines the strength of UHMwPE with the friction control of spun polyester, delivering safer handling, longer service life, and exceptional reliability in marine and industrial applications.

Super-Q12 is a 12-strand floating rope developed for demanding environments where grip, friction management, and handling safety are essential.
Constructed from a Stealth Fibre® UHMwPE and spun polyester blend, this hybrid rope offers a unique balance of strength, durability, and flexibility.

The spun polyester surface layer enhances friction and heat dissipation, particularly when wet making Super-Q12 a superior alternative to standard HMPE ropes in applications involving drums, bitts, and capstans.
Its low elongation, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent resistance to kinking and abrasion make it ideal for heavy duty work where safety and efficiency matter most.
