STATIC ROPE
HORIZONTAL RIGGING Rope sag due to elongation (stretch) is often an issue with highlines. Too much sag can make it difficult to clear obstacles. Excessive sag in a horizontal highline will also increase the amount of work required to manage a load across the span. Polyester core kernmantle ropes help reduce this sag due to their much lower elongation under load. PMI®
’s
Talon and Isostatic polyester core ropes are a great choice as track lines in a highline operation. Choosing a low elongation rope will make it easier to tighten the highline and less sag will be induced in the system as it is loaded. Keep in mind, however, that less catenary in the system will result in higher forces at the anchors - a situation that can easily be monitored by incorporating load cells into your system. Note also that the system will be much less forgiving of shock loading and great care should be taken to prevent dynamic loading events.
Polyester ropes are perfect for situations when you need less stretch in your systems.
PMI® ISOSTAT IC
A PMI signature rope constructed of 100% polyester core and sheath. These ropes are specifically designed with super low elongation for specialty applications such as highlines and applications where professional rope technicians require absolute minimal elongation. These ropes are also engineered to stay rounder and have less sheath slippage than conventional kernmantle polyester ropes.
Key Features: NFPA Certified • 32-carrier construction • 100% polyester construction • Resists flattening under load

POLYESTER FIBER ROPES PMI polyester ropes offer a unique range of performance and features as compared with nylon. As a fiber, polyester offers lower elongation than nylon, but the stretch characteristics of a rope are also partially determined by the design of the rope. An all-polyester rope with a static construction may be a great choice for use by experienced technicians in applications where particularly low elongation is required, but a very static rope offers little forgiveness, so extra precautions should be taken when using these. Other points to consider when using polyester fiber ropes:
USA MADE CERTIFIED
1) Polyester retains a high tensile strength even when wet.
2) Slightly more resistant than nylon to most acids. 3) Slightly less resistant than nylon to alkalis. 4) Melting point is about 500° F (260° C). 5) Highly abrasion resistant.
6) Some users may notice a slicker feel/faster descent on polyester ropes.
All PMI ropes that incorporate polyester in some way have an X pattern on the sheath, while nylon-only models feature the typical “barber pole” design.
