Maxibraid
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 is made in to Yale Cordage Specification #YCI-MB-006.
Maxibraid™ is a single-braid rope constructed of UHMPE fiber. This fiber has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any synthetic or natural fiber, and it floats. The integral Maxijacket coating firms the construction, increases wear life, and helps keep contaminants out of rope. Maxibraid also has extremely low stretch, and it is laid firmer than Ultrex, sacrificing tensile strength for longevity in tough field conditions.
Specific Gravity: 0.98
Dielectric Strength
The maximum allowable leakage for new dry Maxibraid is 0.5 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.
