The Climax System for Kites
A complete range of high quality flying lines for all Kite Flying Activities

Product Information
The Climax System for Kites - always one turn ahead


The brand name Climax stands for high quality and innovation in technical filaments. The Climax System for Kites was developed with the assistance of experienced kite flyers. The aim was to provide a system of flying lines for every kite flying activity. The Climax System for Kites covers the range of lines for the delicate way of Indoor Flying to lines for the demanding Traction Kiter.

THE FIBRE
Most Climax flying lines are manufactured from CORAMID. This fibre is another brand fibre among such known fibres as SPECTRA or DYNEEMA. CORAMID has the same characteristics as Spectra or Dyneema (e.g. melting point) but performs better in other areas.
br>A special impregnation and polishing process gives braided Climax lines their unique characteristics. The fibres have a tighter alignment, line surface becomes smoother and harder, a tighter braid reduces line cross-section and minimises drag (wind resistance) forces acting on the line are distributed more evenly among the individual fibres.

Temperature Resistance
CORAMID, Spectra, Dyneema and HPM all consist of the same basic polymer. This means that their general characteristics, behaviour under friction and melting point are the same.
Accidental crossing of lines manufactured from these fibres do not 'cut' each other. The new Climax PROTEC receives additional protection during the CSP process (Climax Slippery Polish).

Abrasion
Resistance against abrasion is the result of resistance to temperature and friction. Due to the additional impregnation and polishing process of Climax braided lines, friction and consequently abrasion are reduced.

UV-Resistance
CORAMID, like Spectra, has built-in UV resistance. Braided Climax flying lines receive additional protection during the impregnation process.

Water Resistance
The CORAMID fibre does not absorb water. In addition, the special impregnation process prevents entry of sand and salt.

THE LINES
CLIMAX LINES FOR SINGLE LINE KITES
Climax DACRON Black Line

Although Dacron is nothing new, these lines for single line kites are extremely thin. A round cross-section gives them perfect aerodynamic behaviour.
Climax Dacron Black Line 10daN (20lbs) with its fine braid now allows large kites to fly in gentle breezes. These lines provide enough stretch to protect single line kites from wind forces and gusts acting on a kite.

CLIMAX LINES FOR SPORT KITES
1. Climax Dyneema - white

Is a variant of the well known Dyneema line. Now meant to be an affordable entry line for sport kite flying. Good quality is available at a low price due to a special braiding technique.

2. Braided Climax - yellow - CORAMID

The all-round line for 2-line Sport Kites. What is noticed first is the tight braid and hard surface of the line. This line is the result of a new braiding technique and an impregnation process which tightens the fibres. Braided Climax yellow is the direct link to your kite. (Lines with breaking strength above 300lbs can easily be spliced.)

3. Braided Climax Extra Fine - purple - CORAMID

With competition, trick, 3 and 4 line flying in mind, the aim was to develop a world class line at an affordable price.
This line is the result. The difference to braided Climax yellow is an even tighter braid. More fibres in less space and the additional impregnation and polishing process give this line its high qualities.
This line will be noticed. Not only because of its purple colour, but also because of its amazing quality and price.

4. Braided Climax Plus - white - CORAMID

A world first in 1997. This line has an inner CORAMID core around which the fibres are braided. Stretch is reduced to almost zero. A high-end line for those demanding these qualities.

5. Climax PROTEC - orange - CORAMID

Innovation never stands still - neither does the development for new Climax flying lines. The ultimate flying line for 1998 is: Climax PROTEC.
Developed with team flying, street kiting and other flying activities in mind, this line is extremely slippery and has a highly improved resistance against abrasion. This is achieved by an innovative technical process the Climax-Slippery-Polish'.
Each individual fibre is impregnated before the final braiding takes place. The finished line is then impregnated again and polished. This seals the line and gives it its passive protection and extreme smooth surface.
Climax PROTEC does not 'cut' other Dyneema or Spectra lines, and the line itself is difficult to 'cut'. In tests, even KEVLAR had its problems. The line is so slippery that in team flying, new manoevres will be possible.
PROTEC is 'stretched-in' with 80% load to provide immediate control. Long-Life-Quality, 10% higher strength and almost 5 times higher resistance to abrasion when compared to Spectra lines, are additional features of this high specification flying line.

CLIMAX LINES FOR INDOOR / ZERO WIND / MINI KITE FLYING
1. Braided Climax HPM

High Performance Multifilament (HPM) is another polymer like CORAMID or Spectra. Driven by the challenge to find the best line for this delicate way to fly a kite, this bright green line was developed.
The results are thin and lightweight flying lines. HPM has a 10% higher breaking strength when compared with other lines of the same diameter. The thinnest line available has a diameter of just 0.04mm.

2. Mini DACRON

Available in 10lbs and 20lbs. This is a budget line for miniature or indoor kites.

Climax Advantage: Great Flexibility to find the right line length !!!
Individual spools of Climax DACRON 10-65daN and Climax Rokkaku are interconnected.
This allows for line length of 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 500m.

Individual spools (up to a max. of 140daN / 350lbs) of Climax Dyneema, Braided Climax yellow, Braided Climax Extra Fine purple, Braided Climax Plus and Climax PROTEC are interconnected, giving a greater flexibility in finding the required line length - e.g.
2 x 20m spools of Braided Climax Extra Fine make a pair of 2 x 20m length
3 x 20m spools ditto make apair of 2 x 30m length
2 x 90m spools are 180m in one length
3 x 35m spools are 105m in one length
