Maxibraid

12-strand single-braid HMPE rope that floats, with integral Maxijacket High Performance coating for longer wear life.

Description

Maxibraid is a 12-strand single-braid rope constructed from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) fibre. Yale notes that HMPE has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any synthetic or natural fibre, and that it floats.

Key features

  • 12-strand single braid in HMPE fibre
  • Floats
  • Integral Maxijacket High Performance coating
  • Coating firms the construction, increases wear life and helps keep contaminants out of the rope
  • Maxijacket High Performance (HP) is a urethane coating that Yale states is harder, penetrates better and is twice as abrasion resistant as its traditional Maxijacket.

Applications

High-strength, lightweight lines for marine and industrial work where a floating rope with good wear life is needed.
