Introducing Tycan® chains made with Dyneema®. The world’s strongest fiber. Your lightest chain.
At a fraction of the weight of a steel chain, Tycan® synthetic chains are an advantage for your crew, cargo and company. Tycan chains feature synthetic links constructed from Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber. The webbing formed with Dyneema is layered and twisted to create links that give you all the power and flexibility of a steel chain—without compromising
safety or performance. Tycan chains are 8x lighter and soft to the touch, making it effortless for one person to handle an entire chain. This chain has a 2 to 1 safety factor and it is not rated for overhead lifting. It is rated for lashing and load securement with a minimal breaking load of 44,800 lbs, lashing capacity of 22,400 lbs and standard tension force of 5,600 lbs.
