XTC-12
XTC-12 is a “nubbier” hollow braid offering lower weight and excellent abrasion resistance. Built to be round and stay round, XTC-12 is a 12-strand single braid of polyester/”Para-ep” Olefin.
Key Features
- Commercial grade
- Single braid construction eliminates the core
- Excellent hand “feel” with its nubby & firm construction
- Easy to handle even with gloves due to large diameter
This all-synthetic rope resists rot and mildew, and performs equally well in both wet and dry conditions. XTC-12 is a commercial-grade single-braid construction that eliminates the core and adds nubby construction for hand climbers. It is an economical choice for a range of climbing needs.
XTC-12 is available in 100% orange solution dyed polyester, solid white, and white with yellow tracers . The strand is laid, much like our 16-strand products, which are to maximize abrasion resistance. The braid is tight to prevent snagging but supple enough to make handling and throwing a snap. All polyester maximizes the tensile strength, while offering an enhanced ability to absorb shock over our other 12-stranded products.

XTC-12 Specifications and Data
Product (Text) | Diameter (Inches) | Average Break Strength *(Lbs) | Suggested Design Factor 10:1 **(Lbs) | Weight (Lbs/100f) |
XTC 12 | 1/2 | 6,000 | 600 | 6.7 |
Product (Text) | Diameter (mm) | Average Break Strength *(kg) | Suggested Design Factor 10:1 **(kg) | Weight (Kg/100m) |
XTC 12 | 13 | 2,722 | 272 | 10.0 |
* Average break strength is based on spliced rope or capstans samples. Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the design factor.
** Suggested design factor is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the rope’s suggested design factor constitute hazardous shock load and would void the suggested design factor recommendation. The end user is responsible for choosing the correct design factor specific to their application.
