Excel D12 is Marlow Rope's premium range of pre-stretched 12 strand ropes manufactured using Dyneema SK78 and is available in sizes up to 22mm diameter available in 200 metre reels (16, 18, 20 and 22mm contact VR Super Store Support Crew for quote and availability).

D12 is characterised by it's light weight, low stretch and high strength making it an ideal rope for the replacement of steel wire.

Strength for strength, D12 is 8 times lighter than an equivalent steel wire rope and exhibits none of the drawbacks with steel such as corrosion, wire spliters and dangerous recoil in the case of system failure.

D12 has Marlow Rope's ArmourCoat coating as standard which increases abrasion resistance and it's coefficient of friction. However, Marlow have a range of coatings to tackle issues such as flex fatigue and heat generation.
