Samson Tenex is an easy splicing 12-strand rope which is commonly used to manufacture tree rigging slings. Tenex TEC (Two-End-Carrier) is a high strength, low stretch single braid polyester rope specifically designed with two ends per carrier. Although the 12-strand braid is very easy to splice, it is susceptible to plucking and abrasion if it is run over the bark of a tree as a rigging line. Tenex is coated with Samthane coating for durability and abrasion resistance.
