Very little degradation from sunlight. Can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly. Nylon will degrade with strong oxidizing agents, mineral acids, and 90% formic acid. May discolor when exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide.
Nylon melts at 460??????F with progressive strength loss above 300??????F.
No blanket safe working load (SWL) recommendations can be made for any line because SWL''s must be calculated based on application, conditions of use, and potential danger to personnel among other considerations. It is recommended that the end user establish working loads and safety factors based on best practices established by the end user''s industry; by professional judgment and personal experience; and after thorough assessment of all risks.?????_

Product Description

The Equinox has been redesigned to be lighter and more versatile. Whether for sport climbing or longer multi-pitch routes, the Equinox is the perfect rope for its excellent knotability and ease of clipping. All of New England Ropes have Endura dry treated cores. Select styles have a Double Dry (2x) treatment where the cover is coated with Endura Dry Treatment as well as the core for the ultimate in dry protection. These models carry the ''2X Dry'' or ''Doulbe Dry'' designation.Endura DryEndura Dry is a multi-stage application process. For STD-Dry ropes, the coating is applied to the individual core yarns prior to the braiding process. The cores are then surrounded by an additional protective cover, locking in the water-blocking power of the coating. 2X Dry ropes are treated a second time using the same process. New England Ropes cures the finished product, using an environmentally controlled process that creates a chemical bond between the coating and the finished climbing rope. Endura Dry lubricates the individual core fibers, improving fiber-to-fiber abrasion that can occur beneath the surface.
