Beal GoldenDry
Every filament of the sheath and the core of GoldenDry ropes is treated with a water repellent chemical before the rope is manufactured. This chemical covering is polymerised at high temperature. The durability of this treatment is given by the polymerisation, but also because of the individual treatment of each filament before the rope is made. A GoldenDry rope is a rope with the core Dry treated, and a sheath of Dry Cover.
Key features:- Very limited weight gain in wet conditions
- Prevents the rope thickening too much
- Improved rope-running through karabiners and belay devices
- Improved abrasion resistance in normal climbing use
Unicore
The UNICORE process bonds the sheath of the rope to the core. This prevents sheath slippage, but also helps to keep the structural integrity of the rope if it is cut or damaged.
Key features:- Sheath slippage is eliminated
- Allows safe escape should the sheath be cut
- Rope cutting is easy: no hot knife required
- Improved rope-running through karabiners and belay devices
- Reduction of shrinkage in water by more than 50%
