HTP STATICHTP STATICSterling’s HTP, High Tenacity Polyester, ropes are 100%polyester and offer significant advantages over mixed fiberstatic ropes. The benefits of using HTP include betteroverall durability and strength, as well as extremely lowstretch. With less stretch, the HTP is a highly efficient ropefor ascension and high angle rescue situations. Polyesteralso has a natural resistance to moisture, UV and chemicalsmaking it less conductive to electricity and able to performbetter in areas of harsh environments than mixed fiberropes.The sheaths on all of our HTP static ropes are made with ahigh denier sheath for greater durability and reducedstiffness. These ropes are great for use in high-lines, towerrescue, rope access, water rescue and other applicationsrequiring high strength or low stretch.9mm HTP STATIC100% polyester static kernmantleconstruction that is lightweight andoffers super low-elongation.• Great for SAR teams or fortower crews• Ideal for lightweight hauling,anchors and water rescueP0903/8” HTP STATICP100Lightweight static line with superlow elongation and superiorabrasion resistance.• Perfect for haul lines, accesslines and z-drag systems• Great for lightweight belay linefor tower work and military ropebridgesNFPA 1983EscapeNFPA 1983Light UseElongation at 300 lbs 1.30%Elongation at 300 lbs 1.00%MBS lbs (kN) 5,193 (22.5)MBS lbs (kN) 5,981 (26.6)Recommended Safe Working Load519 lbsRecommended Safe Working Load598 lbsWeight (lbs/100') 4.2Weight (lbs/100') 5.3STERLING7visit www.sterlingrope.com for more information or to order online.

WATER RESWATER RESCUEWith water rescue ropes, there is a difference. Whilemany companies offer inexpensive float rope by usinga lower grade of polypropylene, Sterling believes thatis not in the best interest of the rescuer or the personneeding to be rescued. Swiftwater, ice and oceanenvironments present difficult challenges for rescuepersonnel. It is imperative that their rope is visible,strong and floats. That is why Sterling developedeach of its water rescue rope series using only thehighest tenacity and quality polypropylene, nylon, andDyneema® fibers.For most water rescue, our 3/8” GrabLine is ideal.Its tread like sheath makes the rope easy to grab.Our WaterLine is a high quality throw line, offered in5/16”, 3/8”, 7/16” and 1/2” diameters. When bothextra strength and lighter weight is needed, turn to ourUltraLine with a braided Dyneema core. Any one ofthese ropes is essential for rescue or military teamsnear or on the water and a great addition toemergency kits carried by police and fire department,EMS, and river guides.WATERLINEThis high floatation rope featuresa polypropylene sheath formaximum floatation and a nyloncore for strength.

Dyneema and Spectra are trade names for ultra-high molecular weightpolyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers of very similar constructions, produced by different manufacturers. All of these fibers have a specific gravity of less than one,so they are light weight and they float. The difference between polypropylene and Dyneema, which Sterling uses, is that Dyneema is significantly stronger. Infact, it is 15 times stronger than steel, and has better UV, chemical and even moisture resistance (it’s hydrophobic) than polypropylene. It is also moredurable. There are many different grades of polypropylene as well, which accounts for the many offerings of low-priced or economy float rope. Sterling onlyuses the highest quality grade of polypropylene.Construction Process: Better Braid TechnologyThe process of taking sheath and core yarns and putting them together into a rope is called braiding. However, Sterling’s “Better Braid Technology” refers toour entire process of precision manufacturing, by using the finest, high quality yarns and state of the art equipment to design and produce rope products toperform to the highest standards.Our process begins with the selection and testing of fibers. We then ply and twist the fibers to our desired denier for cores or sheath yarns. Twist provideselongation, durability, and even better handling in the final product. These yarns are conditioned using our ThermoDynamic balancing process to lock in theperformance characteristics we wish to achieve in the rope. Finally, we braid the sheath and cores into rope. At each step, and then prior to packaging, eachrope is hand inspected to insure that it is without defect. We batch test our products to make sure we remain in compliance with our certifications. Thisprocess, as well as our quality system, is certified to ISO 9001. It is how Sterling produces a better, stronger rope that will last longer, run through gear andequipment more smoothly, and is more efficient when setting up rappels, belays or protection.General Knowledge: Washing Your RopeKeeping your rope clean is critical to its longevity. Sterling Rope recommends using Wicked Good Rope Wash, our proprietary wash, free of any harmfulchemicals that might breakdown the fibers in your rope. Wash your rope after approximately 30 to 40 uses, or if the rope has excessive dirt throughout thesheath. Your rope can be washed by hand, or in a washing machine, preferably a front-load washing machine, using hot water. Sterling does not recommenda top-loading washing machine because the rope can become entangled in the agitator and this could harm both the rope and the machine. If you are using atub or container, make sure it is clear of any chemicals that could be harmful to the fibers in the rope. Hang your rope to dry in an area not exposed to sun.visit www.sterlingrope.com for more information or to order online.STERLING10

FIRE RESCUESCAPE & SEARCH ROPESFIRE RESCUESterling’s Fire Rescue series consist of high performing ropesfor emergency escape or search procedures. Whetherfighting fire or enemy combatants, personal safety andsurvival is paramount for every firefighter, soldier, ordepartment. Sterling uses aramid yarns such as the highperforming Technora® and Twaron® fibers, in unique smalldiameter constructions to achieve optimum handling, heatand cut resistance and high strength in these ropes.Sterling has the most extensive line of escape ropes. Ourropes are engineered to balance a tough durable sheath overcores which are designed for specific functions, such as toprovide greater strength, high heat resistance, or betterhandling and lower impact forces. Combined with ourrevolutionary new F4 descent control device, our ropesprovide the perfect light weight, strong escape option forfirefighters and military personnel alike.8mm PERA compact and lightweightPersonal Escape Rope (PER),made from 100% nylon thathas a high tensile strength.Yellow PER is also available asSafetyGLO, that features areflective tracer in the sheath.Diameter8 mmNFPA 1983EscapeElongation at 10% MBS 4.9%MBS lbs (kN) 3,754 (16.7)Safe Working Load lbs 375Weight (lbs/50') 1.45Fibers (sheath/core)Nylon/NylonPER080RIT 500RIT 500 is an 8mm personalescape rope with an aramidsheath and nylon core.

Technora® and Twaron® are brand names foraramid fibers from Teijin Ltd. We primarily use Technora in most of our high performing escape ropes and Twaron in our RIT 500 series ofropes. Technora is very cut resistant and will endure under flexing, abrasion and even stretched conditions, with little loss of strength. It hasa very high heat tolerance, and will not melt or decompose up to 500°C (932°F). It will maintain full strength under extended heat of 200°C(400°F). It is eight times stronger than steel, and is highly resistant to acids, alkalis and organic solvents and is not vulnerable to damagecaused by steam or water. Twaron is not as strong as Technora, but is also highly resistant to high heat, abrasion and cutting. Both thesefibers are excellent for the severe conditions found at fire-grounds or in military operations.General Knowledge: NFPA and CE TestingSterling certifies many of our products to both NFPA and EN standards. We are also ISO 9001 certified and compliant. NFPA is theNational Fire Protection Association, an organization that among other things, establishes standards and guidelines for product, service andpolicy for operation in the fire service. NFPA does not test or certify any product or company. Third-party auditors, such as UnderwritersLaboratories ® (UL ® ), perform testing to the standards appropriate for the product. EN standards are compiled by the European Committeefor Standardization. Like NFPA, they are standards that relate to products, services or systems. They are used so that products can trade(specifically in Europe) equally against a given model or technical specification. Many of Sterling life-safety products are certified to NFPA1983, 2006 edition by UL® and many of our products carry CE certification as well. Those products are noted by the CE mark andnumber of the notified body 0120.visit www.sterlingrope.com for more information or to order online.STERLING12

FIRE RESCUTRAINING CENTERWhen doing technical rope work, whether fighting fires, rescuing someone from a tower, repairing a windturbine, or rappelling from heights, training on the gear you use is essential. Because Sterling appreciateshow important this training is, we have collaborated with many of the best trainers, rescue and workaccess professionals to design and build the new Sterling Rope Training Center at our facility in Biddeford,Maine. The center is not only a great indoor training facility; it also provides us a place to test our productsin simulated applications. The center is complete with a large classroom, instructor’s office, an overheadprojector and computer hookups. Rope training takes place in an open two-story area that featureswindows and a parapet for bailout or rappel training, a 30-foot tower for work at height and industrialrescue exercises. Overhead anchors, structural beams and truss simulate a work environment, while flooranchors, such as steam radiators, building columns and door jams allow for realistic training scenarios.The Training Center has been utilized for SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians)certification courses, wind turbine access and rescue training, and for F4 Escape and firefighter safety andsurvival courses.The Training Center is available for contract courses that are instructed by professional, certified trainers.For more information on classes or for a schedule of events, please call us at 800.788.7673.

SEWN CORDSEWN CORDSterling Rope was the first company to offer sewn prusiks,and since their inception in the market, we have continuedto grow our sewn product line. We offer sewn terminationson cord sizes from 4mm up through 9mm and on rope up to5/8” and our products are tested both in-house and certifiedby third party authorized organizations.Sewn cord and prusiks offer a sleek, low profile alternativeto knots that can be cumbersome and bulky. Sterling hasinvested greatly over the years in modern computerizedsewing machines that optimize bar tacking to be consistentand of high quality. Sewn bar tacks on rope and cord arestronger than knots because rope-on-rope friction iseliminated along with the bending of the fibers. Sterlingoffers many different types of sewn cord, prusiks andlanyards in multiple lengths to expand your safety options inthe vertical world.LEGEND: SEWN BOUND LOOP SEWN LOOP SEWN EYE6mm Sewn CordSC060Name Item Number Length MBS lbs (kN) Description (There are a many uses for sewn cord, these are just a few examples)Travel Restraint NYTR044 44” 2901 (12.9) Sewn bound loop; used to connect rescuer to Edge Restraint cordChest Purcell NYCP020 20” 2901 (12.9) Sewn bound loop; used as an adjustable connection point to litterShort Purcell NYSP042 42” 2901 (12.9) Sewn bound loop; used as an adjustable connection point or self belayLong Purcell NYLP068 68” 2901 (12.9) Sewn bound loop; used as an adjustable connection point or ascendingElite Ratchet NYRT009 9” 2901 (12.9) Sewn bound loop, used as a prusik in the AZTEK systemAuto Block NYAB013 13” 2901 (12.9) Sewn loop; used as a prusik or klemheistSewn Powercord APC006 21 ft 2969 (13.0) Sewn loop; used as a prusik or for building an anchorHollow Block (6.8mm) TWHB013 13.5” 3709 (16.5) Sewn loop; used as auto block, klemheist or prusik7mm Sewn CordSC070Name Item Number Length MBS lbs (kN) Description (There are a many uses for sewn cord, these are just a few examples)Bearer Tie-In NYTR044 44” 4932 (21.9) Sewn bound loop; used to connect litter attendent to litterHead End Litter Spider NYCP020 20” 4932 (21.9) Sewn bound loop; used as an adjustable connection point to litterSewn Prusik NYSP019 19” 4932 (21.9) Sewn bound loop; used as an adjustable connection point or self belaySewn Prusik NYSP025 25” 4932 (21.9) Sewn bound loop; used as an adjustable connection point or ascendingSewn Cordelette ANY006 10.5’ 4932 (21.9) Sewn loop; used as an anchor for rappellingSTERLING19visit www.sterlingrope.com for more information or to order online.

Knots create bendswith tight radii, which can get tighter with additional load, increasing the rope-on-rope friction and greatly reducing rope strength. Each bend ofthe knot weakens the integrity of the individual fibers, creating a weak point in the system. In addition, some high tensile fibers such as aramidsor olefins, such as Dyneema and Spectra that have high lubricity, can lose as much as 50% of the original MBS due to a knot.This is why Sterling sought a better solution with the sewn prusik and sewn-eye termination over 12 years ago. Sewn tacks eliminate thebending and the yarn-on-yarn abrasion of a knot. It keeps rope structure intact, and maintains over 85% of the rope or cord strength. Plus, thelower profile of the tack keeps your rope or cord orderly and easier to rig into safety systems.visit www.sterlingrope.com for more information or to order online.STERLING20

DYNAMICDYNAMICSterling Rope manufactures the highest performing dynamicropes in the industry. The technical feature that setsSterling’s dynamic ropes apart from the rest of the world is oursuperior abrasion resistance sheath and balanced coreconstructions. All dynamic cores are treated with ourtrademark DryCore solution, which allows the ropes tomaintain elongation properties while protecting the nyloncores from losing strength or increasing stretch when wet or inhigh moisture environments.Sterling’s dynamic ropes are used and regularly tested bysome of the worlds most respected and reputable rescuetrainers, professional climbing athletes and top militarypersonnel. Each rope is certified to UIAA and EN 892standards and also meets military specifications.LEGEND: 1 SINGLE ROPE 1/2 HALF ROPE OO TWIN ROPEVelocityKosmosDuettoEVEKED09 14 08 06 0507 03 VR10 04 0507 01 03 09342924281Diameter 9.8UIAA Falls 6Impact Force8.8kNDynamic Elong. 26.4%Weight (g/M) 621Diameter 10.2UIAA Falls 8Impact Force8.8kNDynamic Elong. 31.1%Weight (g/M) 671/2Diameter 8.4UIAA Falls 6Impact Force6.5kNDynamic Elong. 31.6%Weight (g/M) 45Rope Type: Dynamic vs. StaticLearning5 The RopesDynamic ropes are designed with specific elongation to absorb the shock and dissipate the energy created by a fall. Static ropes have minimal elongation andare meant for use in rigging safety and rescue system or top-roping. Dynamic ropes are classified for use as either a single rope or two-rope system. Singleropes typically are larger in diameter than twin or half ropes, and constructed to withstand the rigors of lead climbing and falling. Twin and Half ropes must beused together, are often of diameters less than 9mm, and allow for long rappels and to accommodate difficult placement of protection from wandering routes.Static ropes are designed with significantly less twist to reduce stretch, and more yarn in the sheath and core, to increase strength. Static ropes often have lessthan 10% stretch at MBS. Sterling offers three distinctly different static rope constructions to meet the rigors of your application.General Knowledge: DryCoreSterling Rope developed DryCore to create a better, safer climbing rope. The core provides the strength and handling in a rope. When nylon becomes wet, itloses critical strength and stretches more. DryCore is our proprietary solution that coats and impregnates each core fiber so as to significantly reduce waterabsorption. This keeps your rope performing well, and as expected, in all conditions.STERLING21visit www.sterlingrope.com for more information or to order online.

MilSpec has a ridged construction, easily seen and felt if you run your hand over thewebbing. TechTape is Sterling's design which is slightly stronger than its counterpart and has a smooth feel and finish. TechTape uses a finerdenier in a higher yarn count to make a webbing that is stronger and more supple.Weave Type: Tubular vs. FlatLearningThe RopesTubular webbing is quickly identified because of the hollow center. Tubular webbing is lightweight, strong, and easy to handle. It is commonlyused in the vertical realm for building anchors, but is also carried by rescue personnel to be used as a drag strap or hasty-harness. Tubularwebbing may be constructed on Shuttle or Needle looms. These two designations refer to the type of machine the webbing is manufactured onand their construction.Flat webbing is often stronger, and more abrasion resistant than tubular webbing. The increased strength of flat webbing is often preferred inharsh and abrasive environments, for use in technical rigging, and in heavy rescue situations. This webbing can also used to build harnesses. Flatwebbing weighs slightly more and can be more difficult to handle than tubular.visit www.sterlingrope.com for more information or to order online.STERLING24
