TEUFELBERGER has developed a detergent specifically formulated for fiber ropes that extends the service life without compromising strength.
In 2013, TEUFELBERGER engineers launched the project “Deliberate Rope Damage in Fibre Ropes”, testing and analyzing the impacts of various mechanisms of damage to fibre ropes. The results of the analyses enable us to understand, among others, the effects of washing on the service life of ropes. For you as a climber, the topic of how to wash a fibre rope and use detergents is of particular interest in regards to the integrity of your rope and your safety.
SCRUBBA is an easy to use rope detergent specifically formulated to clean ropes effectively and gently.
Washing a rope has an impact on the residual strength, therefore the choice of detergent is vital. Tests reveal that after eight washings with powder detergent the residual strength of a fibre rope dropped to 58%. In comparison, washing gel reduced tensile strength by 22%. After 8 washings, SCRUBBA produced the best test results with the least amount of tensile strength loss.
