If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain bonded together. With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, the sheath can slide and gather along the rope length. This can create a potentially dangerous situation. With the Unicore process the sheath remains in place and the rope intact and fully functional.
