Tech 12
Tech 12 is a twelve-strand single braid of Technora® fiber with Samthane urethane coating. The product has higher strength and lower stretch than other products constructed of other types of high modulus aramid fibers. The Samthane coating creates enhanced wear resistance but allows very fast splicing capability. Tech 12 has extremely good heat resistance and flex fatigue service life. Its extremely high strength and low stretch offer the opportunity of replacing wire rope in static applications.
