Sterling Rope is excited to introduce the RIT Response; their
latest heat resistant search line and escape rope. The RIT Response is engineered
for Rapid Intervention Teams that need a larger diameter heat resistant search
line that is easy to handle and is very packable. This rope is also perfect
for those who want a larger diameter heat resistant escape rope.
The RIT Response is kernmantle construction, with an Aramid fiber sheath called
Twaron, and a twisted polyester core. This construction gives the rope exceptional
pack-ability and still provides enough firmness for handling and finding the
rope in poor visibility. The sheath features a colored polyester tracer for
increased visibility, and as heat reference for rope inspections. The the rope
has been exposed to extremely high heat the polyester tracer will melt and give
indications that the rope should be retired. The rope will still retain the
majority of its strength and integrity even if the tracers have melted.
• Heat resistant sheath to 932°F
• Polyester Core Heat Resistant to 480°F
• Certified to NFPA 1983, 2001 edition for Escape Rope
