POLYPLUS BRAID.

PolyPlus Braid is an affordable 12-strand

single braid rope constructed of high

tenacity polyester plied over "Para-ep"

polyolefin in each individual strand. A

unique plying technique as well as a

generous proportion of polyester to olefin

is coupled with Yale's exclusive Aralube

treatment which optimizes the ropes

abrasion resistance. The Tara-ep" provides

body to the rope and enhances its

handling characteristics while keeping the

rope's weight to a minimum. The two end

per carrier structure makes the rope a snap

to splice, and it is entirely torque

balanced. PolyPlus Braid is the strongest

single braid polyester/polyolefin blended

rope available and is always manufactured

with dual red strands.

* 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% 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.

The colored area under the curve

represents the rope's ability to do "work"

and is expressed in foot-pounds per pound

of rope in tension.

■ Green working 395 ft. lbs./lb.

■ Red ultimate 8,228 ft. lbs./lb.

Dielectric Strength; The maximum

allowable leakage for clean, dry PolyPlus

Braid 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.
