3D Lap Coil

As soon as you get your hands on a new EDELRID rope, all you want is to start climbing straight away. However, the formation of creases and twists during unrolling could quickly ruin the joy of your new purchase.

From now on, however, this possibility belongs to the past for all EDELRID strings! The new EDELRID 3D Lap Coil technology makes the unwinding operation unnecessary. We have in fact introduced the new Lap Coiling machine into our production system, which winds our ropes in a special way. Thanks also to a well-studied package design, immediately starting climbing with the new rope is child's play, since unwinding it is really easy. The markings on the rope and the detailed description on the packaging make the operation even easier: you can therefore start using the rope immediately without annoying twisting and twisting.

ProDry

Untreated ropes can absorb up to 50% of their weight in water. In humid conditions these ropes become extremely heavy, unwieldy and at low temperatures they can freeze. They also lose much of their safety margin. Pro Dry is a new treatment that has been developed specifically to counteract these problems. In the first phase of the treatment the threads that make up the core are impregnated. At the end of the braiding process, the finished rope (core and sheath) is impregnated a second time. Finally the impregnation is subjected to thermal fixing. The result is a rope that maintains its water-repellent characteristics and resistance to dirt for a long time. The ropes dry very quickly, experience minimal weight gain in the presence of humidity and do not freeze easily when temperatures drop. Thanks to the reduced water absorption (1–2% based on the UIAAAWater-Repellent-Test), Pro Dry ropes maintain their performance almost unchanged even in humid environments, thus offering high safety margins.

The UIAA-Water-Repellent-Test is a procedure developed by the UIAA through which it is possible to measure the water-repellent characteristics of ropes. The first stage of this test consists of subjecting a test sample to mechanical wear over its entire surface. This test simulates the wear to which the rope is actually subjected when used on rock and ice. Subsequently, the sample is wetted according to a standard procedure for 15 minutes with a certain quantity of water (2 l/min). The sample is weighed before and after wetting. The weight difference between the dry and wet sample is then calculated as a percentage. The percentage of absorbed water must not be greater than 5% of the weight of the sample rope. Ropes that meet this requirement may be marked with the «UIAA Water Repellent» mark.

Thermo Shield

Thermo Shield is the standard treatment to which all ropes are subjected to guarantee the unparalleled handling of EDELRID ropes. This treatment consists of a thermal process through which the threads that make up the core and the sheath of the rope are perfectly harmonized with each other. Thanks to a special heat treatment, the fibers loosen inside the rope and expand. In this way the sliding characteristics inside the rope are uniformed, which thus becomes more manageable and compact. The result is strings that don't shrink or stiffen quickly.

Bluesign certification

«Our ropes are clean», for the sake of the environment

Quality and safety are the basic principles that drive us from our first steps. For the production of innovative and ecological high-performance ropes we therefore remain faithful to the creed of sustainability. It is only thanks to this principle that today we are able to set new standards in sustainable rope production.

EDELRID was the first rope manufacturer in the world capable of adapting its products to the rigorous bluesign® system, i.e. the most severe ecological standard in the world regarding the production of textile materials. It is an independent standard, recognized internationally and based on five principles: resource productivity, air emissions, workplace safety, water protection and consumer safety.

All the raw materials we use for the production of our strings are qualified as «bluesign® approved». In harmony with the optimized production that takes place here at the Isny headquarters, our ropes obtain the «bluesign® product» label, a label which therefore represents their quality mark and guarantees that the product has a low content of pollutants , does not harm health and is manufactured using environmentally friendly processes. In this way we can fulfill our customers' natural desire to have a product that is both safe and sustainable.

And we too have learned a lot along the way: after eight years of collaboration with Bluesign Technologies AG in Switzerland, we can draw on a wealth of experience in sustainable rope production. By adapting our entire line of ropes to the rigorous requirements of the bluesign® system, it was possible to achieve the following savings objectives in the coloring phase of the sock threads:

  • a CO2 reduction of 62%
  • a water saving of 89%
  • a reduction in energy consumption by 63%
  • a reduction in the use of chemicals by 63%

For EDELRID this represents a further step forward towards an increasingly sustainable future: in fact, we have been pursuing the path of sustainability for years and we wish to consistently continue in this direction in the years to come. We do this not to give ourselves an air of virtuousness, but to provide a logical response to the needs of changing times.

To be able to say, in good conscience, that "our ropes are clean".
