Description

Yale Ultrex 1/2″ – HMPE

Ultrex from Yale Cordage is a 12-strand single braid of High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMPE) fiber  and enhanced with Yale’s Maxijacket High Performance coating, which supplies superior abrasion resistance. Ultrex’s braid angles and twist level are designed to optimize break strength and keep stretch low.

HMPE is the most forgiving high-modulus fiber, giving better sheave-cycling capabilities than other high-tech fibers. Ultrex has zero water absorption and maintains its flexibility even in freezing conditions.
