@neauoire I used to do these massive custom rope contracts a few years ago. Go though thousands and thousands of feet of Amsteel blue a contract. The samthane coating on it was pretty durable but eventually I’d look like a Smurf. |
@neauoire UHMPWE is difficult to solution dye, although black has been possible from the start. The rest has been dipped in dye, which doesn't stick to the fibers well. Our blue rope was just dirty white after a season.
There's some progress recently: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0032386123002033
