Beal Spelenium 8.5mm Unicore - Fluo Orange

 Fluo orange canyon rope, a super visible rope in bassins under the watersurface.
EN 1891 B canyon rope sold by the meter.

 Canyoning rope, semi-static light type B, particularly suitable for canyoning activities by experienced practitioners.

Its fluorescent orange color makes the rope super visible in basins under the surface of the water. Its finesse and maneuverability will facilitate the descent of lighter while maintaining the characteristics of a type B rope.
Use downhill canyon, but also for speleology course.

• The most of the rope Béal Spélénium 8.5 mm uni Core:
• Its orange Fluo color super visible in canyon.
• Its finesse and lightness for a type B rope.
• Its maneuverability allows the featherweight to evolve with ease.
• The Uni Core Process that blocks the sheath on the soul and gives extra security.
• The ability, thanks to the Uni Core Process, to cut lengths without melting the ends, without the sheath getting distressed.
• Retraction reduction to water of more than 50%.
• Type B.
• Weight per meter: 49 grs.

Uni Core Process Technology:

• Amazing process of sticking the soul and sheath of the rope, without changing its flexibility characteristics. Even in the worst conditions of use, sheath slip is removed. (Repeated mills for example).
• If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and the sheath remain attached. On a classical rope, if the sheath is cut by edge abrasion, a frequent phenomenon in caving and working at height, it slips and settles on about one meter. It then becomes impossible to pass this zone, as well on the ascent as on the descent.
• With the Unicore process, the sheath remains in place and the user can escape, either by going up or down by taking the necessary precautions. You do not get stuck without a solution on the rope.

The Unicore process is an undeniable security gain during perilous and delicate operations; its assets are multiple:

• It prevents slipping of sheath,
• It allows to escape if the sheath has been cut,
• It allows to temporarily cut lengths of rope with a knife, without melting the ends, without the sheath getting distressed.
• Retraction reduction to water of more than 50%.

Recommendation:

Before first use, wet the rope by soaking for 24 hours and allow it to dry slowly. It will shrink by approximately 5%, which will reduce the risk of sheath slip. Consider this loss when ordering. Your rope will eventually lose at least 10% of its original length.

Standards EN 1891: semi-static ropes:
Type A: rope to use in caving, rescue, or as a safety line in work at height. Recommended for access to the workstation, or for work in tension or suspension on the rope.
Type B: Speleology rope having a lower performance level than Type A ropes. When used, greater care should be taken in protecting against the effects of abrasion, cuts and normal wear, as well as than the reduction of the possibilities of falling.

KEY FEATURES

• Soft to the touch and extreme suppleness for a type B rope.
• Ease of use even for light users.
• Enhanced safety as a result of the UNICORE process.
• Easy to prepare - cutting to length using a simple blade without any heat required to anneal the end is now made possible thanksto the UNICORE process.
• Reduction of shrinkage in water by more than 50 %

Low stretch rope (type B) perfectly adapted to caving. Its ease of use comes from its thin diameter and remarkable suppleness characteristic of a type B rope.
The UNICORE process which permanently bonds the sheath to the core prevents any slippage of one over the other. Should the sheath get torn due to abrasion, it still remains glued to the core without any slippage. This allows the user to escape either on his way up or down.
