Maxibraid Plus \ UHMPE Core Polyester Sleeve Double Braid Rope

Available with
Maxijacket coating

Data

Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of line’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. Maxibraid Plus is made to Yale Cordage Specification #YCI-MBP-062.

Maxibraid Plus is a double-braided rope constructed of an inner loadbearing core of UHMPE® fiber. The polyester outer sleeve protects the strength member from abrasion. The UHMPE fiber has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any synthetic or natural fiber and has stretch characteristics similar to wire. The UHMPE core is coated with Maxijacket™ prior to being over-braided for added toughness. Maxibraid Plus is identified by red and blue strands braided into the sleeve structure.

Specific Gravity: 1.18

Dielectric Strength
The maximum allowable leakage for new dry Maxibraid Plus is 1.0 milliamperes at 60 K DC volts when tested in accordance with Yale Cordage Test Method DTP-185. Caution: Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase a rope’s conductivity dramatically.

Elastic Elongation

The colored area under the curve represents the rope’s energy absorption capability.

Green working 160 ft. lbs./lb.
