Tech-Kern is a Kernmantle-style rope consisting of a braided Technora® Aramid core covered by a 48-strand Technora mantle. If you are familiar with our Kernmaster, you already know the advantages of a braided-core rappelling line.
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.
Approved Splice Technique: #10018000.

* 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
