Data

Crystalyne Data

Shock loads: All high-modulus fibered ropes have low stretch and little tolerance for shock loads. It is ill advised to select a high-strength rope in an attempt to solve shock-loading problems. Yale Crystalyne is made to Yale Cordage Specification #YCI-DV-095.

Yale Crystalyne is a double-braided rope consisting of a polyester sleeve covering an inner loadbearing core of LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). Liquid Crystal Polymer is more tolerant of bending than other high-modulus fibers. Unlike UHMPE ropes, LCP thrives at high loads and doesn’t have a creep-to-failure mode.

 

Yale Crystalyne is identified by a single black and a single yellow strand separated by four white strands braided into the sleeve.

 

Specific Gravity: 1.40

Dielectric Strength
LCP is a hydrophobic fiber giving it high dielectric strength equal to Maxibraid Plus.

LCP also has high temperature melt point (621°F) similar to Aramid fibers.
