Transforming Offshore Cable Management: Nylacast’s Nyla-HOC Sets a New Standard image

As the offshore energy industry advances, so do its expectations for safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Traditional metallic cable clamping systems—though long-established—struggle to meet the evolving demands of offshore infrastructure. Enter Nylacast Engineered Products, a global leader in polymer innovation, whose latest breakthrough, the Nyla-Hang-Off Clamp (Nyla-HOC), is revolutionizing how subsea and topside cable clamping is performed.

Combining high-performance polymers with engineering excellence, Nyla-HOC delivers a solution that’s lighter, safer, faster to install, and built to last in the world’s harshest environments. This performance-enhancing product not only eliminates many drawbacks of metal systems but also aligns seamlessly with the energy sector’s growing focus on sustainability and long-term value.

🔧 Engineering Excellence That Delivers

• Ultra-Lightweight Construction Manufactured from CF 110 Nylon, the Nyla-HOC is 50% lighter than traditional steel clamps—improving handling, transport, and deck space efficiency.

• Tool-Free Installation in Just 40 Minutes A split-design allows for quick, intuitive assembly without specialist training or heavy equipment—significantly reducing labor and downtime.

• Electrically Neutral No need for earthing or grounding, simplifying electrical safety requirements in high-voltage environments.

• One Clamp, Two Functions Separate temporary and permanent clamping systems can be used independently, providing unmatched flexibility during phased installations.

🌊 Built for Harsh Offshore Conditions

• Corrosion-Free & Coating-Free The polymer material resists saltwater corrosion and requires no chemical coatings—reducing maintenance and environmental risks.

• Proven Load Strength Load tests exceed 20 tonnes, offering a grip performance superior to steel-on-steel contact and ensuring cable security under extreme strain.

• Minimal On-Deck Storage Needs Its compact form factor and reduced weight ease handling and logistics, critical for offshore rigs and wind platforms.

• Inherently Durable CF 110 Nylon remains stable and effective for over 40 years, withstanding pressure, UV exposure, and operational stress without degradation.

💡 Technological Superiority

• Advanced Material Science Developed through decades of polymer innovation, the clamp meets and exceeds the industry’s most stringent mechanical and safety standards.

• Maintenance-Free Design No need for post-installation inspections for coatings or corrosion mitigation—ensuring long-term operational savings.

• Internal Quality Assurance Nylacast performs full in-house slippage, pressure, and lifecycle testing on every production batch, guaranteeing reliability.

♻️ Environmentally and Economically Responsible

• Fully Recyclable Made from recyclable materials, Nyla-HOC supports circular economy principles and eco-conscious procurement strategies.

• No Pollutants or Hazardous Waste Free of resins and coatings that degrade into marine pollutants—offering a cleaner, safer offshore solution.

• Reduced Carbon Footprint Lighter shipping loads and longer operational lifespan translate into reduced emissions and fewer replacements over time.

🌍 Powering the Renewable Revolution

• Optimized for Wind, Oil & Gas Ideal for clamping inter-array and export cables on monopiles, jackets, and rigs—whether in offshore wind or fossil energy operations.

• Rapid Innovation Cycle Brought from concept to market-ready in under 12 months, thanks to Nylacast’s agile and collaborative engineering process.

• Available Off-the-Shelf or Custom-Built Choose from standard models for fast deployment or partner with Nylacast’s design team to create tailored solutions for unique installations.
