* Sunlight/UV: Very little degradation from sunlight. Can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly.
* Chemicals: Nylon will degrade with strong oxidizing agents, mineral acids, and 90% formic acid. May discolor when exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide.
* Heat: Nylon melts at 460°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F.
* TPT (Twill Pattern Technology) is a 1-over-1 sheath design that results in a lower coefficient of friction, significantly reducing drag through protection.
* Endura Dry is Maxim's proprietary dry treatment process. All of their 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" designation.
* Impact Force (kN): 9.4
* Sheath Slippage (mm): 0
