Performance beyond 1,000 meters
Deeper installations increase the mechanical demands on cable structure, axial load, and handling. At depths beyond 1,000 meters, conventional steel armoring adds significant weight, limiting cable design and installation options.
Twaron® UHM enables free-hanging cable depths over 9 times greater than steel at the same strain limit (0.1%).
Twaron® UHM offers a high-stiffness, low-weight alternative with 15.9 times lower density in seawater than steel. Its superior modulus-to-density ratio allows cables to reach free-hanging depths up to 9.1 times greater than steel-armored equivalents. This enables more efficient designs and reliable deep-water deployment.
As offshore installations move into more demanding environments beyond 1,000 m, Twaron® UHM reinforcement provides clear advantages in strength-to-weight efficiency, fatigue behavior, and system design flexibility.
Twaron® UHM reinforcement supports high loads with significantly lower weight, improving handling at depth
