Samson® Arbor-Plex 12-Strand 1/2" Climbing Rope 120'
Arbor-Plex was the first synthetic rope designed specifically for the arborist industry and remains one of the best values in climbing lines today. Arbor-Plex has a weave of polyester and polyolefin fibers that make it incredibly light weight and and very mildew resistant. The 12-strand weave is naturally twist resistant, and signature green stripe assures that any twist in the line is easily detectable. Rope has a nubby feel when new, but it quickly "furs up" with wear and tear. It has excellent knot-holding ability, works well when wet, and is a widely used rigging line. 120' hank of rope weighs 8.15lbs (3.7kg).Rope Construction 12-strand (Class 1) Single BraidDiameter 1/2" (13.5mm)Weight 6.8 lbs/100 ft (10.1kg/100m)Specific Gravity 1.18Average Breaking Strength 6,000 lbs (2,700 kg)Minimum Breaking Strength 5,400 lbs (2,400 kg)Stretch 3% @ 10% Load (600 lbs)
