Edelrid Technologies:
ThermoShield: Thermo Shield is the basic treatment that we apply to all our ropes to ensure they have the renowned EDELRID suppleness. The treatment involves a thermal process that perfectly aligns the core and sheath yarns. A special heat treatment relaxes then shrinks the rope’s fibers. This harmonizes the gliding characteristics of the yarns inside the rope, making it supple and compact. The result is the creation of ropes that will neither shrink retrospectively nor quickly become stiff.
3D Lap Coil: The 3D lap coiling technique makes uncoiling the rope for the first time unnecessary. We extended our production site with a specially developed lap coiling machine that winds up our ropes. In combination with the thoughtout design of the packaging provided with every EDELRID rope, it has now become super easy to instantly start your climb using your new rope: You do not have to do more than pulling it out! The marking on the rope as well as a detailed description on the packaging additionally ensure that you do things right and can use the full potential of the rope without annoying twisting and tangling.
Eco Dry: Poly- and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), and their subcategory PFAS in particular, make outdoor equipment resistant to oil, grease, and water. Once released into the environment, however, the chemicals degrade very slowly, posing a long-term environmental problem. With Eco Dry finishing technology, we have succeeded in developing a process that is almost on a par with high-performance PFCs and PFAS. Due to their three-dimensional kernmantle construction, the treatment process of ropes is very complex. This is because the finishing process must never compromise the safety and functionality of a climbing rope. The Eco Dry process meets all these requirements and is 100% free of PFCs and even PFAS. The world's first PFC- and PFAS-free rope that also meets the UIAA water repellent standard is the EDELRID Swift Eco Dry 8.9 mm. It absorbs less than 1 to 2% of its own weight in water. It is also bluesign® certified and offers comparable values to the Pro Dry line in terms of durability, abrasion resistance, and water and dirt resistance.
