Written by Negin Hashemi | Jan 31, 2026 8:37:28 AM

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.
