Donaghys Armor-Prus Performance Prusik Line
The Ultimate Heat-Resistant, Ultra-Low Stretch Friction Cord
The **Donaghys Armor-Prus Performance Prusik Line** is the premium choice for professional Arborists and elite tree climbers who require the absolute highest level of heat resistance, grip, and strength in their friction cords. It's engineered with a superior blend of high-tech fibers in both the jacket and the core to deliver unparalleled performance.
Advanced Dual-Fibre Construction:
- Heat-Armored Jacket: The **26 Plait mottled jacket** is blended with **Technora®** and High-Tenacity Polyester. This blend acts like "armor," providing a highly textured, aggressive grip while offering a melting resistance **234°C higher than standard polyester** to prevent glazing and failure from friction heat.
- High-Performance Core: Features a light-weight core of **UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)**, which delivers exceptional tensile strength and keeps the line extremely static.
- Kevlar Safety Strands: The core is further reinforced with **twin Kevlar strands**. These internal strands prevent the core from being completely cut or melted in the unlikely event of catastrophic jacket failure, providing a crucial layer of secondary protection.
- Very Low Stretch: The combination of Technora® and UHMWPE/Kevlar results in a **very low stretch** line, offering a super static response ideal for precise work positioning and record-breaking footlocking speeds.
Key Benefits for Climbers:
- Maximum Longevity: The advanced blended jacket ensures the prusik line will last significantly longer under high-friction, high-use conditions.
- Superior Grip: Optimized for use with modern Double Braid climbing lines, providing a reliable, tight grab with various friction hitches.
- Easy to Splice: Despite the high-performance fibers, the 26-plait construction maintains suppleness, making it easy to create custom prusik loops and lanyards.
- Competition Proven: Meets **ITCC climbing competition rules** and is the choice of champions for its performance in footlock and ascent challenges.
