Overview
Racing Dyneema® 99 Pro Tech (formally known as Pro Sheet) has the same abrasion-resistant Technora®/ Polyester braided cover as the standard Pro Tech product, but has a lower stretch, stronger Dyneema® SK99 core. This product is an excellent all-rounder and is a go-to line for many race boats for Halyards and Sheets.

Material
Cordura®
Cordura® fibres are used in some of our ropes to provide extra grip, especially when handling the ropes for sheets or where additional holding power is required in Clutches and Jammers. Cordura® is a form of Nylon with a texturized finish.
Dyneema®
Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, is respected as the premium brand for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE). We offer many ropes produced using Dyneema® fibres including single braids and double braids. We use Dyneema® SK99, Dyneema® SK78 and Dyneema® DM20 fibres to produce our ropes. These different types of Dyneema® fibre are used to produce ropes for specific applications.
Kevlar®
Kevlar® fibres are produced by DuPont™, the fibres are extremely strong with a melting point is above 500°C (930 °F). Kevlar fibres also have a very good abrasion resistance making the fibre ideal as part of a technical rope cover.
Polyester
Polyester has a specific gravity of 1.38 which means it will not float. Polyester has no strength loss when wet, it is flexible and has good abrasion resistance. Polyester fibres also have good resistance to chemicals and have a melting point of 295°C.
