ULTREX PLUS..
Ultrex Plus is a double braid of Ultra High
Molecular Weight Polyethylene, treated with
Maxijacket coating for enhanced toughness.
Sleeved with high tenacity polyester, Ultrex
Plus is spliceable utilizing conventional high
modulus splice techniques, or the new Yale
tuck splice, which shortens the bury portion
and minimizes the length of the larger
diameter associated with a bury type splice.
All strengths shown are for spliced line.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lowers maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in
load up or down, in excess of 10 percent of the rope's rated working load constitutes hazardous shock load
and would void normal working load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working
loads and safe use of rope.

Energy Absorption
The colored area under the
curve represents the rope's
energy-absorption capability.
■ Green working 140 ft. lbs./lb.
■ Red ultimate 5,428 ft. lbs./lb.
Dielectric Strength: The maximum
allowable leakage for clean, dry Ultrex
Plus is 100 Micro Amperes when tested
at 90KV per ASTM 1701-05 "Routine
Production Test". Absorbed and
entrained moisture or impurities will
increase ropes conductivity dramatically.
