6. TRANSPORT,
STORAGE AND CLEANING
Our product consists of aramid, polyester and Dynee-
ma®. Aramide and Dyneema® are not UV-stable.
Sun and chemicals attack the material and cause
its strength to decrease. In the event of reactions
such as discoloration or hardening, retire the product
for safety reasons. Furthermore, Dyneema® must
never be exposed to temperatures above 60°C.
The thimble consists of 17-4 PH stainless steel that
has been heat treated and electropolished. Do not
use this product in corrosive conditions.
When transporting the product, it must always
be protected form light and dirt and provided with
suitable packaging (moisture-repellent material that
is impervious to light).
