Engineered Rope Solutions for Demanding Industries
Yale Cordage delivers high-performance synthetic rope solutions trusted across oil & gas, entertainment rigging, safety and rescue, and government / military applications.
Double Esterlon
Double Esterlon is a double-braided rope constructed of premium over finish polyester fiber in both the sleeve and core. This product is identified by two green strands braided into the cover structure and is available with optional Maxijacket urethane coating to further enhance the rope’s wear resistance.
Mega Max
Mega Max is double braid rope with a unique design that provides the ultimate in abrasion protection while still providing the highest strength possible, all in a High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) fiber construction.
Aracom 100
Aracom 100 is a 12-strand rope comprised of 100% Technora® Aramid fiber. Teijin’s Technora Aramid is selected for this rope due to its ease of handling and reduced internal yarn-on-yarn friction, which greatly increases this Aramid’s longevity.
Tech-Kern
Tech-Kern is a Kernmantle-style rope consisting of a braided Technora® Aramid core covered by a 48-strand Technora mantle.
Aracom Miniline
Aracom Miniline combines a low helix angle core of Technora® Aramid with a very tightly woven over-braid of thin polyester. Aracom Miniline provides the maximum strength–to-weight ratio in a composite Aramid polyester construction.
Polydyne
Polydyne is a double-braided rope that utilizes a polyester sleeve over a nylon core. Despite the dissimilar stretch characteristics of these fibers, Yale engineers have produced constructions where both fibers contribute.
Navy RIB Boat Slings
Our Navy RIB Boat Slings were developed in conjunction with NSWC Carderock Division to handle RIB Boats. The initial goal was to eliminate wire rope from existing slings, reducing electronic interference, corrosion, wire fish hooks, and generally engineering a safer system.
Ultrex
Ultrex is the premier 12-strand single braid rope manufactured in the USA by Yale Cordage. Ultrex is made from Dyneema (HMPE) fiber and enhanced with the extremely durable Maxijacket High Performance coating, which supplies superior abrasion resistance. Ultrex’s braid angles and twist level are designed to optimize break strength and keep stretch low.
