Tech-Kern
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.
- Designed to bring the highest heat resistance to the market
- High-friction applications
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.
