There are other differences as well between Sterling’s static ropes and others. Typical static ropes have little or no twist in their cover yarns. Without twist in the sheath yarns, rope is subject to greater abrasion leading to early rope retirement. Sterling, Better Braid Technology™ is a unique process that provides a balanced construction that combines high twist with our 48-carrier sheath and DryCore™ construction. This gives the rope a slimmer profile than ropes with 16- or 32-carrier sheaths because the sheath is not bulked up to get core coverage. Consequently more yarn goes into the core giving the rope greater strength. This unique construction is what makes the rope easy to handle and deploy quickly and efficiently. Its smooth, firm sheath provides not only a quiet rappel and minimizes excess dirt build-up, but also allows the rope to pass through gear and equipment without vibration.

Perhaps the most important difference between Sterling’s SuperStatic and all other ropes is DryCore™. Only Sterling ropes have DryCore™, cores that are dry. This is an important safety feature. A wet rope is a compromised rope. The rope loses its strength and elongation increases. With DryCore™, Sterling's moisture resistant proprietary yarn helps each rope maintain its strength and elongation characteristics thereby assuring you a pliable, strong rope. Rescue, work access, and tower technicians never know where and under what weather conditions or situations they will encounter next, but with DryCore™, they can be confident that their ropes will perform perfectly and safely. Because Sterling’s SuperStatic is easy to deploy and handle, knots well, stays strong, and remains durable throughout its working life, it has become the rope of choice for many rescue and safety personnel throughout the world.
