Aramid Abseil Rope Twaron® and Technora® | Twisted polyester core | 16 plait polyester cover
Abseiling | Extreme Rapid descent | Escape systems | Fire rescue
Heat generated from rapid descents can in some cases melt polyester fibres of regular ropes.
Marlow have used the heat resistant properties of Technora® and Twaron® aramid fibres to create an abseil rope that can withstand temperatures of up to 500° C.
