Crystalyne / Vectran Core Polyester Sleeve Rope
Data
Applications: For halyards, sheets, guys and control lines.
Construction: Core: Braid of 100% Vectran LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). Sleeve: Braid of smooth filament polyester.
Crystalyne is a combination of a urethane Maxijacket coated core of Vectran and an outer sleeve of polyester. The Maxijacketed core is color matched to the solid color of the solution dyed polyester cover. Vectran is a high-modulus, liquid crystal polymer which combines high strength , low stretch, and low creep. It absorbs moisture, delivering the lightweight, all-weather performance that makes it the preferred choice of high-performance racers worldwide.When strength is critical and stretch cannot be tolerated.
Specific Gravity: 1.40
Color Code: Solid colors: White (40), Red (41), Blue (42), Green (43), Black (45), Gray (36), Yellow (49)
