Samson Arbor-Plex Climbing Rope (150' Hank)
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. 150' hank of rope weighs 10.2lbs (4.6kg).Rope Construction 12-strand (Class 1) Single BraidDiameter 1/2" (13.5mm)Weight 6.8 lbs/100ft (10.1kg/100m)Specific Gravity 1.18Average Breaking Strength 6,000lbs (2,700kg)Minimum Breaking Strength 5,400lbs (2,400kg)Elongation at 10% Average Breaking Strength 3%1/2" Arbor-Plex Data Sheet PDF (168K)    Samson Rope Inspection, Retirement, Care & Usage Information PDF (2.1 MB)
