Technora
Technora
Technora® offers exceptional tensile strength at 28 grams/denier, making it eight times stronger than steel and three times stronger than fiberglass. It withstands high temperatures, with a melting point of 930°F (498°C) and retains strength up to 500°F (260°C).
Durability and Resistance
Technora® is resistant to abrasion, flexing, stretching, heat, acids, alkalis, organic solvents, steam, and sea water. Its urethane coating provides additional UV protection and abrasion resistance.
Specifications:
- Tensile Strength: 28 grams/denier
- Melting Point: 930°F (498°C)
- Strength Retention: Up to 500°F (260°C)
- Coating: Urethane for UV and abrasion protection
Applications:
Ideal for winch lines, cable pulling, tow lines, rigging, stringing, lifting, and marine lines. Popular in poi spinning for its durability, high tensile strength, and temperature resistance.
Note: For Rope Dart leashes, Dragon Rope is recommended for its smoother texture and higher abrasion resistance.
Technora® in Poi Spinning
Technora® is the most popular leash material for poi spinners due to its high temperature resistance, tensile strength, and durability. It decomposes at around 932°F (500°C) and offers high tensile strength with different diameters (2,500 lbs at 1/8" diameter; 5,000 lbs at 3/16" diameter; and 7,300 lbs at 1/4" diameter). Its high abrasion and fatigue resistance make it a very durable poi leash material.
Note: For Rope Dart leashes, Dragon Rope is recommended as it offers a smoother texture and higher abrasion resistance than Technora®.
For the best results, we recommend using splicing fids to connect Technora® rope to your hardware rather than tying knots. This ensures a secure and reliable connection.
Applications:
Technora® is versatile and suitable for various applications, including:
- Fire poi
- Rope darts
- Winch Lines
- Cable Pulling
- Tow Lines
- Rigging Lines
- Stringing Lines
- Lifting Lines
- Marine Lines
