ULTREX PLUS..

Ultrex Plus is a double braid of Ultra High

Molecular Weight Polyethylene, treated with

Maxijacket coating for enhanced toughness.

Sleeved with high tenacity polyester, Ultrex

Plus is spliceable utilizing conventional high

modulus splice techniques, or the new Yale

tuck splice, which shortens the bury portion

and minimizes the length of the larger

diameter associated with a bury type splice.

All strengths shown are for spliced line.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lowers maximum working load.

** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in

load up or down, in excess of 10 percent of the rope's rated working load constitutes hazardous shock load

and would void normal working load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working

loads and safe use of rope.

Specific Gravity: 1.18

Energy Absorption

The colored area under the

curve represents the rope's

energy-absorption capability.

■ Green working 140 ft. lbs./lb.

■ Red ultimate 5,428 ft. lbs./lb.

Dielectric Strength: The maximum

allowable leakage for clean, dry Ultrex

Plus is 100 Micro Amperes when tested

at 90KV per ASTM 1701-05 "Routine

Production Test". Absorbed and

entrained moisture or impurities will

increase ropes conductivity dramatically.
