Yale produces rope coatings and techniques such as fuzz fairing for a variety of industrial and other uses.
Yale Cordage designs combinations of high-performance fairings specifically for the ocean environment in almost any configuration. In use, they contribute significantly to drag reduction, strum suppression and longitudinal damping.
Maxijacket HP is a new urethane technology originating in Europe. It brings an innovative toughness to our high-modulus rope offerings. This new material is harder, penetrates better and is twice as abrasion resistant as our traditional Maxijacket coating.
Yale Coat Chafe is a braided-polyester inner-lining material allowing for a smooth application while the outer heavy-duty layer of abrasion-resistant urethane provides protection against wear surfaces. This construction allows for continued flexibility in cold climates.
This is a spliceable urethane coating that is applied after the rope is braided. Maxijacket firms the rope, increases snag resistance, improves abrasion resistance and helps keep contaminants from entering the rope.
