This all depends on what you're hanging. If hanging art worth more than $100, use steel cable. Museums and galleries all use steel cable because it is easier and nicer to work with. dyneema is strong, but not chemically stable and will degrade over time with exposure to atmosphere and light (though obviously there isn't a lot of light behind a piece of art on the wall).
- semi-extrinsic 6y agoI agree that it's easier to work with - you don't need to know any knots, just twist it and it stays. So that's a definite benefit. But when it comes to UV and chemical resistance, I don't see how one would get any degradation in a museum setting. Dyneema is used in heavy industrial applications like mooring lines and tugboats for very large ships with lifespans over ten years. Unless you're hanging up something that you're not taking down for a century, it shouldn't be a worry.
- p0llard 6y ago> hanging art worth more than $100 To add to this; this is the vast majority of art.
