Marlow D12 78 4mm

Marlow D12 78 – ultra-light Bio-Dyneema® SK78 rope with extreme strength

Marlow D12 78 is a premium series of technical ropes made from pre-stretched Bio-Dyneema® SK78 using a D12 single-braid construction. It is designed for users who demand maximum strength, minimal stretch, and total stability even under extremely high loads.

The rope is incredibly lightweight – up to 8 times lighter than steel of comparable strength – while eliminating common steel cable disadvantages such as corrosion and dangerous recoil in case of failure. The standard ArmourCoat finish improves abrasion resistance and enhances grip during use.
