rope and technique id

Hi,need help to identify this rope is 12mm and the guy who gave it to me said it doesnt melt and the best splicing method,is this a double braid?
Thanks

Looks like Ocean Polyester. A blend of polyester and aramid sheath with polyester core. I have had success with a class 1 double braid...if you want cordage that is more heat resistant try 8 mm HRC. It has nomex in it, which is a flame retardent fibre...much different splice.

Yeah, that's 10mm Ocean Polyester.

I believe Nick has a great taper trick for this one, should be listed in a thread called something like Ocean Polyester splicing instructions IIRC

Comparing the size of the eye to the carabiner the cord looks like 10mm. There doesn’t appear to be any change in size below the eye like a typical double braid splice, are you using a different method?
