Download Data SheetTech-Kern
Tech-Kern is a Kernmantle-style rope consisting of a braided Technora® Aramid core covered by a 48-strand Technora® mantle.
Technora® has a high melting point and acts as a heat sink when used with high-friction applications, as with descent devices. If heat is on your mind, consider Tech-Kern.

Tech-Kern Featured Applications
Mining Lifelines
Our line of synthetic mining lifelines are a better alternative to traditional wire cable, being stronger, safer and lighter.
Industrial Applications
Tech-Kern should be considered for industrial applications that can benefit from the highest heat resistance brought to the market.
Tech-Kern Specifications and Data
| Diameter (Inches) | Average Spliced Break Strength *(Lbs) | Minimum Spliced Break Strength *(Lbs) | Maximum Working Load 10:1 **(Lbs) | Weight (Lbs/100f) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.45 | 21,000 | 18,900 | 2,100 | 7.6 |
* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** For situations where a person is NOT on the rope, the working load may be doubled (5:1).
Specific Gravity: 1.44
Dielectric Strength: Due to their moisture gain, high-dielectric applications are not recommended.
