REELEX® tangle-free technology is a patented method of winding a filamentary product into a figure-eight coil on a specialized coiling machine. This coiling method cancels any twist in the product by using a traverse to guide the product back and forth across the coil while winding. These twists cancel each other out as the coil is dispensed, resulting in low-tension, smooth payout without any twists, kinks, snags, or tangles.
