Another area of confusion can be
heat-setting and
pre-stretching. Every Marlow D12 Dyneema core is pre-stretched to reduce “bedding-in” elongation, limit the amount of elastic elongation and improve rope strength. Pre-stretching involves the application of heat during the process and is sometimes known as heat-setting, although simply applying heat does not have the same effect.
Marlow have been pre-stretching Dyneema cores for over 25 years and that experience means we know exactly how to improve a rope’s performance without compromising flexibility or damaging the fibre.
Marlow’s MAX Technology takes pre-stretching to a new level by using a precisely controlled process to take Dyneema to the limits of heat and load during the Pre-Stretching process – it could be called “Super Pre-Stretching”.
Le corde
D12 MAX sono state introdotte per offrire la massima realizzazione di forza da Dyneema e per eliminare praticamente l'allungamento elastico e "allineamento". Le corde D12 MAX hanno dimensioni più forti rispetto alla D12 standard - il processo MAX imballa più Dyneema nello stesso diametro, quindi la forza extra. Tuttavia, le funi D12 MAX sono più rigide e più dure delle normali corde D12 preriscaldate.
