Low Stretch Rope
PMI® HeatShield™ This special PMI rope, HeatShield™ MADE IN THE USA is an excellent choice for
rope access work for anyone needing rope with superior sheath abrasion and heat resistant properties such as those performing work at bridges, dams, towers or industrial sites. For any high abrasion environment, consider this rope for the job. The sheath is 100% Technora®
resistance, heat resistance, excellent dimensional stability, and chemical resistance.
Key Features: Sheath - 100% Technora® • Core - 100% Nylon 6.6 •
High modulus of elasticity • Low creep • Low thermal shrinkage • Thermal decomposition threshold 500ºC (932°F)

Natural Gold HS125TG183A
> 183 meter order HS125TG001A COMPLIANT CI1801, LOW STRETCH UHMWPE offer excellent heat resistance as
compared with other rope fibers: roughly twice that of nylon or polyester! However, do not be misled into believing that ropes made of these fibers will not “burn through” or fail. Although Para-Aramids like Kevlar® and Technora®
do not melt, they do decompose. While the official
decomposition temperature seems high (932° F or 500° C), the high temperature working limit is only 350° F (176.7° C) - just about 100 degrees higher than nylon or polyester.
You should also be aware of limitations in these fibers when compressive forces from rappel devices are combined with axial forces and shock loads such as might occur when escaping a hazardous environment. Be sure your choice of rope and rappel device system is well tested before putting it into actual use.
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene - although offering incredible strength, this fiber has dangerously low melting temperature and low coefficient of friction, and therefore is not a good choice for an escape rope. Fibers like Dyneema®
and Spectra® offer a high temperature working limit of only 150° F (65.6° C).
NYLON AND POLYESTER Nylon and polyester are the tried-and-true workhorses of the life safety world and a variety of Escape ropes are made with one, or some combination of, these two fibers. On a practical level, these are still a very good all-around choice for an escape rope in terms of overall safety and cost. Nylon 6,6 and polyester fibers melt at 489-500° F (254-260° C) and offer a high temperature working limit of around 250-275° F (121-135° C).
