Advanced fiber technologies and engineering provide Ultrex E with dependable strength and performance.
Manufactured in the United States using premium imported HMPE fiber, Ultrex E offers the core benefits of
HMPE in a reliable and economic (E) price point. As one of the most forgiving high-modulus fibers, HMPE
provides improved sheave-cycling performance compared to other high-tech fibers. Its 12-strand single
braid construction, combined with optimized braid angles and twist levels, is designed to maximize break
strength while keeping elongation low. A strand-level coating enhances abrasion resistance and handling
characteristics for consistent performance across a wide range of applications.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.



Specific Gravity: 0.97
Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Ultrex is 75 micro-amperes when tested at 100kV per Yale Method 712-1701 Rev 1 “Routine Production Test.” Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase the rope’s conductivity dramatically.
