UIAA DRY hydrophobic treatment is resistant to snow and ice
TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What is Covershield technology?
The Covershield is a manufacturing process which uses two types of yarn. Polyamide (dynamic) and UHMWPE (static). These two yarns These two yarns are braided in a way that improves the rope's resistance against abrasion and sharp ridges.
Covershield is a technology patented by Simond.
What is the UIAA DRY treatment?
This rope has UIAA Water Repellent label.
A brief summary of test:
- A rope sample is subjected to light abrasion over its entire surface, the equivalent to a few days’ use.
- It is soaked for 15 minutes.
- the amount of absorbed water must not be greater than 5% of the sample’s weight.
The SIMOND DRY ropes easily meet UIAA requirements
The rope's mechanical features are last longer in cold and wet conditions.
What is the ultrasonic finish:
Deterioration of rope ends is no longer an issue thanks to this new ultrasound fusion process.
What is the middle marking?
To improve your safety, this rope features a black mark which indicates the middle of the rope.
How much does it weigh?
54 g/m
PLEASE NOTE: Weight measurements made according to the EN 892 standard.
For example, for a single rope, the rope must be exposed to 10 kg of tension for 1 minute in very precise temperature and moisture conditions.
This gives you the real weight of the rope, which is often superior to the weight given by the standard.
The weight measurement according to the standard is used to compare two ropes to each other.
What are its technical specs?
NUMBER OF FALLS: 5/15/12
IMPACT FORCE: 8.2/6.3/8.5 KN
DYNAMIC ELONGATION: 31.3% / 28.7%/ 27.6%
STATIC ELONGATION: 7.2% / 7.2%/4.6%
SHEATH SLIPPAGE: 0
Which standard does this rope meet?
EN 892: 2012:+A3: 2023
How to wash your rope
It's important to properly care for your rope to reduce wear.
As dirt wears ropes down, we recommend:
1- using a rope cover;
2- If the rope is dirty, wash it with clean, lukewarm water.
Should stains persist and you want to wash it with soap, it is important to use a pH-neutral soap (such as Marseilles/household soap) and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3- Air dry the rope out of the sun and away from all sources of heat.
How to store your rope
Ropes should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light, humidity, and corrosive agents. Never leave ropes inside a car during summer, for example.
