	Rope Proof by Nikwax
	by Nikwax

Nikwax RopeProof can substantially reduce water absorption in climbing ropes (dynamic and static). It has been successful at maintaining strength, impact force, fall ratings, static elongation, sheath slippage and knotability within UIAA and the manufacturerand#39;s allowable limits. RopeProof is a WaterBase emulsion of Nikwaxand#39;s patented TX.10 elastomer. It is based upon EVA which gives it elastic properties that enhance the durability during flexing. It also adds abrasion resistance. During the application process, the water-repellent molecule is dispersed across the sheath and core fibers of the rope. As the water (carrier) is removed during the drying process, the molecules link together (polymerize) wrapping the fiber with the water-repellent elastomer.
