Designed by Colligo and manufactured by Hampidjan, Colligo Dux is an uncovered, heat-stretched SK75 Dyneema braid. Designed for use in standing rigging applications, it has the lowest constructional elongation of any product on the market. Newer chemistries such as SK90 and SK99 are heat-stretched at the fiber level so they do not set as well at the braided line level and tend to experience more elongation under tension over time. 11mm & larger sizes are a 2×12 construction, which also helps the heat stretching process and minimizes elongation.
Price is per foot.
**NOTE: When replacing wire standing rigging with synthetic (e.g. Dyneema, Kevlar, etc), it is NOT appropriate to simply match the diameter or the breaking strength; the stretch characteristics must be considered as well (this typically means a thicker dyneema line than you might otherwise select). Read more on this and see an equivalent stretch chart from Colligo Marine here.
From Colligo:
“Colligo Dux is the first 12 strand line that has similar stretch characteristics to 1×19 wire rope. In fact it can easily be sized so that you have less stretch than your wire rope, with a minimal windage increase. You can have synthetic rigging for about the same price as wire.
Worried about chafe? Loggers drag logs thru the woods with it. Mushers use it for dogsledding because the dogs can’t chew through it. This is the toughest synthetic there is.
Worried about UV damage? This is the best uncovered synthetic for UV resistance. Our systems today have a replacement interval of 5-8 years in the tropics (uncovered). Our UV study will be published shortly with  more detailed information. We expect an even higher number.
Worried about creep? We understand creep and we size for no more than 0.1 inches per year. What is creep, you ask? Quite simply, it’s the actual elongation of the synthetic fibers. Like pulling taffy, creep is permanent (whereas elastic stretch, like a rubber band, bounces back). Read more here on our tech blog.
Easily spliceable, inspectable, 1/6 the weight of wire and, 1/3 the price of PBO!
Warning: Colligo Dux Synthetic Standing Rigging is Dyneema based and is highly dependent on end termination geometry. Â Colligo line terminators are designed to maximize life over the long term and to ensure the greatest value (and life) from Colligo Dux Rigging. The data shown on this site cannot be applied to any Dyneema based lines without the use of Colligo Synthetic Systems hardware.”
