Λάβαμε σχετικά τις εξής πληροφορίες από τη ΣΟΕ και την FSE, οπότε τις παραθέτουμε:
Thanks to our official partnership with the European caving rope manufacturer, BEAL, the European Speleological Federation (FSE) is able to present you the preview of the new caving rope technology that Beal has invented and that they will officialise on next week. It is a complex polymerization process called UNICORE that enables to bind the sheath of the speleo-rope to the core, while all the other qualities of the rope are kept and even reinforced. This specific process that Beal have patented enables us to have an 8.5mm rope that has all the qualities of the Spelenium 9mm rope with which we are used to. Like this, we gain in weight and in resistance of the sheath of the rope. For those who need type A ropes, the Beal Unicore Spelenium rope exists also in diameters 10.5 and 11mm.
You can access to the bilingual press release specially in preview on the FSE website
(pdf file of 300 ko) : www.eurospeleo.org/beal-unicore.pdf
And the videos in 5 languages of the comparative tests between Unicore and classic rope
technologies are accessible on :

Should you have technical questions or suggestions about the Unicore tecnology, please
send them to contact@eurospeleo.org and you will receive an answer from BEAL.
