DUO TEC

Braiding process DUO TEC

A braiding process, patented by EDELRID, to manufacture bicolor ropes. Each half of the rope has a different design. The differently patterned rope halves are easy to distinguish. This easily-identifiable middle marking is very useful when rapelling, estimating how much rope you have left and coiling. The design change is made possible by weaving a special bicolor marker ribbon into the sheath along the entire length of the rope. Each side of the ribbon has a different color. At the middle of the rope, the braiding machine automatically turns the marker ribbon over so that a different color shows (e.g. from green to black). This technique ensures permanent middle marking of the rope.
