Single Braid HMPE or Dyneema Splice: The Trap to Avoid

A single braid splice is an excellent solution for finishing an HMPE or Dyneema rope.

But beware: if it is not under tension, it can come undone by itself.

⚠️ Why does this happen?

HMPE / Dyneema hollow braid is not mechanically locked.
Without load, the natural fiber slippage causes the splice to gradually open.


💡 The solution

Adding a few stitching points with Dyneema® thread mechanically locks the splice and prevents any opening when unloaded.

🧵 The right equipment to secure your splice
Use a Dyneema® whipping thread: strong, discreet and durable, specifically designed for ropework and technical splices.
