INTERCORE is ARMBURY's most advanced anti-slippage technology, creating a permanent bond between the sheath and core using a proprietary bonding material integrated during the braiding process. Unlike SYNX (which uses physical compression), INTERCORE achieves a continuous adhesive connection that delivers 0% sheath slippage in testing — the highest level of core-sheath integration in the ARMBURY line.
Zero sheath slippage means the rope maintains consistent handling and device compatibility throughout its entire service life
If the sheath is cut or damaged, INTERCORE prevents the sheath from bunching away from the damage site — keeping the core protected on either side of the cut
Critical safety feature: if a sheath is severed over an edge, the core remains loadable because the sheath does not slide off
Eliminates the need to retire ropes due to minor sheath migration that would otherwise compromise device feeding
A proprietary bonding agent is introduced during the braiding process, creating a continuous adhesive layer at the interface between the sheath and core. As the sheath is braided over the core, this material bonds the two layers together along the entire length of the rope. The bond is then permanently set during the THERMO SHEATH heat treatment. The result is a unitary structure where the sheath and core function as a single integrated component.
Available on select ARMBURY static ropes (10.5mm and 11mm InterCore models). Achieves 0% sheath slippage per EN 1891 testing.
