UIAA DRY treatment:
This rope has the UIAA Water Repellent label.
Brief summary of the test:
- A sample of rope is subjected to light abrasion over its entire surface, equivalent to a few days' use.
- It is watered for 15 minutes.
- The amount of water absorbed must not exceed 5% of the sample's weight.
SIMOND DRY ropes more than satisfy the UIAA requirement
The rope's mechanical characteristics are preserved for longer in cold, damp conditions.
Ultrasonic finishing :
Thanks to this new ultrasonic melting process, deterioration of the rope ends is eliminated once and for all.
Middle marking :
To enhance your safety, this rope has a black marking indicating the middle of the rope.
WEIGHT :
54 g/m
ATTENTION: Weight is measured in accordance with EN 892.
For example, for a single rope, the rope must be tensioned by 10 kg for 1 min under very precise temperature and humidity conditions.
As a result, the actual weight of the rope is often greater than the weight stated in the standard.
Measuring weight in accordance with the standard enables ropes to be compared with each other.

WASHING YOUR ROPE
It is essential to maintain your rope to limit wear and tear.
As dirt ages the rope, we recommend:
1- using a rope cover;
2- If the rope is sale, wash it with clear, lukewarm water.
If stains persist and you want to clean them with soap, use a neutral soap, such as Marseille soap, and rinse abundantly with clear water afterwards.
3- Dry in the open air and in the shade, away from any source of heat.
STORE YOUR ROPE
Rope should be stored away from light, moisture, chemicals and heat. Be careful not to leave it inside a car in midsummer, for example.
CONTROL YOUR ROPE
It's important to check your rope regularly. To do this, slide your hands over the rope and look closely, metre by metre, at the entire length of the rope. This will enable you to spot any cuts, nicks, abrasions or soft spots on the rope. If you notice any of these anomalies or irregularities, if the core is visible in certain places, if it is deformed or has been subject to too many falls, you need to change it. We don't play with safety!
