Validator 12

Validator-12, constructed of 100% Vectran® fibers, is the second strongest rope in the Samson line.
A LCP (liquid crystal polymer) fiber, Vectran exhibits high strength, excellent creep and abrasion resistance — allowing for the use of smaller diameter, lighter lines.
It features excellent flex/fold and chemical resistance, as well as outstanding heat and cut resistance.

One of the most advanced lines available, Validator 12 is ideal for high performance racing applications requiring very high strength, low stretch, or resistance to high heat and friction.
It is commonly used in high performance running rigging, or as a replacement for wire rigging.
Its high creep resistance (low stretch under constant loads) makes it outstanding for use as halyards and control lines.
