Yalex Cordage

Yalex Cordage

Yalex is a single braid, 12-strand rope constructed of specially lubricated 1W81 high tenacity polyester. Yalex’s two end per carrier structure creates a larger void in the middle of rope which makes it easier to splice, and makes used rope splicing much easier to perform.
Yalex is always coated with Yale’s Maxijacket urethane coating, which reduces the new ropes tendency to snag, greatly enhances abrasion resistance and is a great way to color code ropes for application or load rating.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lowers maximum working load.
**Working load is based on static of moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in the 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 recommendations. 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 ability to do “work” and is expressed in
foot-pounds per pound of rope in tension.
Green working 409 ft. lbs./lb.
Red ultimate 10,700 ft. lbs./lb.

Dielectric Strength
The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Yalex 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.
