This heat-stretched Dyneema® RSK99 braid has a very low elongation. Ideal for control lines requiring high stiffness such as standing rigging (shrouds, runners, backstays) and other applications.Construction: 12-plait long pitch Dyneema® SK99 Racing braidDescription
Dyneema SK99 braid
Coating and heat-stretch processes increase abrasion and tensile force resistance for the equivalent diameter of a non-stretched braid. It is the ideal material for control lines requiring great stiffness, standing rigging (shrouds, runners, backstays), and other textile cables.The pre-stretching technique, which occurs after braiding, removes the air from the braid, makes it more compact and stabilises its length. A braid which has not been heat set and pre-stretched will suffer from elongation after installation.

The pre-stretching process:
The has superior mechanical characteristics.
It is more compact and its diameter is inferior as the air has been removed from the braid. The
