Kevlar cord available in the desired length

Beal Aramid is a high strength 5.5mm Kevlar cord, available by the metre. With a high melting point (which is why it is considered a fireproof material) Kevlar is particularly suitable for making self-locking Machard or Prusik knots to be used for abseiling.

Kevlar is a very resistant material, used in technological contexts even outside of mountaineering, such as the naval, space or bulletproof vests. With the same thickness, compared to nylon or Dyneema lines, it has an incredibly superior hold.

The greater resistance to support on edges makes it particularly recommended for belaying hourglasses and sharp spikes.

The Beal Aramid 5.5mm Kevlar cord has a strength of 1,800 daN (Kg).

Beal is a French company, world leader in the production of mountain ropes thanks to an advanced technological development in the manufacturing process which has earned it the ISO 9001 certificate. Always attentive to the needs of climbers, it has been able to bring dynamism to the practice of climbing thanks to intense research.
