CE4Y Sick-line 8.7mm

Description

EXPERT ONLY!

A hyper static and ultralight 8.7mm rope or for those who don’t like to carry too much!

Light as a feather and extremely durable due to the thick rope sheath.

The highly cut- and abrasion resistant fibers (Dyneema) in the sheath and the lightweight core make this rope a perfect combination.

It floats easily and is ultra-light for its diameter.

The fibers are water repellent and the rope stay light when wet.

A hyper static cord has minimal elasticity! It cannot absorb the energy of a fall!

The rope is tested according to EN564.

Rope Shrinkage:
During use the rope will shrink due to fiber and construction shrinkage, expext a length reduction.
Our ropes shrink less than most – but there is no standardized test for rappel rope shrinkage, and the amount of shrinkage will vary wildly with the details of usage.
We deliver the ropes 0.5m-1m longer than indicated, measured with our calibrated digital measurement tool.

Swiss Made:
Proudly produced and developed in Switzerland by a certified manufacturer for personal protective equipment.
Every rope length is available, ronger ropes up to 800m on request.

Technical information:

• diameter: 8.7mm
• breaking strength: 20kN
• figure-8 knot strength: 13.5kN
• weight: 44g/m
• elongation (50kg-150kg): 1.8%
• sheath: 48% sheath mass, material: UHMPE (Dyneema) & Polyester
• core: 52% core mass, material: Polypropylene

Note:
It is not recommended to use this rope for dry canyons in dry condition due to the Dyneema in the rope sheath.
However, tests have shown that abseils up to 50m on dry ropes with a standard sized figure-8 kind of device can not damage the rope fibers due to heat generated by the friction of the abseil device.
