Ultrex Endurance – HMPE 12-Strand Single Braid Rope Built For Durability
When an application requires a rope that is built for abrasion resistance and longevity in tough conditions, look to UltrexE. Advanced fiber technologies, engineering, and strategic fiber selection provides Ultrex Endurance with dependable strength and next level abrasion resistance, outperforming other ropes especially in high abrasion environments. This rope is manufactured in the United States using premium imported HMPE fiber, providing improved sheave-cycling performance compared to other high-tech fibers.
The 12-strand single braid construction of Ultrex Endurance, combined with optimized braid angles, and high denier yarns, are designed to provide UltrexE with reliable and consistent break strength while keeping elongation low and durability high. To further enhance the abrasion durability of UltrexE, fiber and strand-level coatings are applied during the fabrication process, greatly improving abrasion resistance and overall handling.
