- The SPELENIUM series is designed for caving and exploration enthusiasts, developed to meet the demands of extreme humidity, friction, and frequent ascents and descents in caving environments. This 8.5 mm rope is a semi-static rope specifically designed for professionals who prioritize lightweight gear and ultimate handling. In extremely narrow and wet conditions, its ultra-fine diameter significantly reduces weight, while UNICORE technology ensures absolute safety even if the sheath is damaged.
- Excellent pliability: Even after prolonged use, exposure to mud, or repeated wetting and drying, SPELENIUM maintains a good soft feel, making knotting and unknotting extremely easy.
- UNICORE Single Core Technology: This technology physically bonds the core and sheath, completely eliminating sheath slippage. If the sheath is cut, the core can still support the load, allowing the operator to continue descending or ascending past the damaged section, ensuring emergency escape capability.
- THERMO FLUID Treatment: By treating the rope fibers with infrared technology, THERMO FLUID treatment stabilizes the sheath fibers, making the yarns more uniform and the rope structure more compact, thereby improving handling. This design makes the rope easier to use, more durable, and effectively reduces the risk of tangling or wear.
- Static Rope Type B suitable for caving: SPELENIUM uses a Type B static rope, which has a thinner diameter and soft characteristics, making it easy to handle. Even lighter users can manage it with ease, making it suitable for various exploration needs.
- Ultra-lightweight burden: Weighing only 48 g per meter, this is a huge advantage for energy distribution for explorers who need to carry hundreds of meters of rope deep underground.
- Exclusive numbering and color coding: Equipped with special idN exclusive numbering and BCC color coding, it facilitates clear management of rope usage, making tracking, inspection, and maintenance convenient to ensure safe operation.
