Rope Characteristic
Maxibraid Plus is a double braided rope constructed of an inner load
bearing core of UHMPE® fiber. The polyester outer sleeve protects
the strength member from abrasion. The UHMPE fiber has the highest strength
to weight ratio of any synthetic or natural fiber and has stretch characteristics
similar to wire. The UHMPE core is coated with Maxijacket™ prior
to being overbraided for added toughness.
Maxibraid Plus is identified by red and blue strands braided into the
sleeve structure. The date of manufacture is denoted by colored yarn
between the core and the sleeve.

Dielectric Strength (Maxibraid Plus™)
The maximum allowable leakage for new dry Maxibraid is 1.0 milliamperes
at 60K DC Volts when tested in accordance with Yale Cordage Test Method
DTP-185. Caution: Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will
dramatically increase a rope's conductivity.
Maxibraid Plus is made to Yale Cordage Specification #YCI-MBP-062 |
