Terms of use The values reported in the table were measured on eye-spliced samples of new product and in laboratory conditions. When splicing the rope always use the manufacturer’s recommended splicing procedures, as the strength of the rope can be considerably reduced if the splices are improperly made.

Presence of knots may reduce tensile strength by over 50%. In order to preserve the properties of the product and to avoid premature failures, the working load should never exceed 20% of the rated breaking strengths or even lower if dynamic loading is involved. A higher working load may be selected only with expert knowledge of conditions and professional estimates of risk, if the rope has been inspected and found to be in good condition, and if the rope has not been subject to dynamic loading (such as sudden drops, snubs or pickups), excessive use, elevated temperatures, or extended periods under load. The product should never get in contact with sharp edges or rough surfaces when loaded. Avoid using rope that shows signs of aging and wear. When the fibres show wear in any given area, the rope should be re-spliced, downgraded, or replaced. Furthermore, due to the physical properties of Dyneemaâ, products with a core made out of this material should never be used in environments with temperature higher than 50°C. Due to the sensitivity to UV rays of the Vectranâ and Zylonâ fibres, products with a core made out of these materials should always be used with a protective cover and direct exposure to light of the core material should be avoided or limited to the shortest necessary time. Neither Gottifredi Maffioli S.p.A. nor its suppliers will in any circumstances be liable for any damage arising out of the improper use of the product: any use of the product violating at any time the prescriptions reported in this note, will be considered improper and inappropriate.
