Yale Cordage Crystalyne
Crystalyne is a double-braided rope constructed with an inner load-bearing core of Vectran Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and has a tough polyester outer sleeve. LCP is more tolerant of bending than other high-modulus fibers and is not as affected by overloading.
Crystalyne exhibits more tension cycles to higher percentages of break than all our other high-modulus offerings. Unlike high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) ropes, LCP fiber has little or no tendency to creep and can be used to hold tight tolerances in rope assemblies.
Vectran is hydrophobic, meaning it cannot absorb water. This rope is spliced using the same technique as our Maxibraid Plus, resulting in a termination that finishes shorter than conventional splice techniques and remains supple.

Applications: For halyards, sheets, guys and control lines.
Construction: Braid of 100% Vectran LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). Sleeve: Braid of smooth filament polyester.
Specific Gravity: 1.40.
Specific Gravity: 1.40
Dielectric Strength: Crystalyne’s core of LCP is hydrophobic, so its lack of core moisture gain is an advantage, as is its high melt point of 620°F (325°C). The polyester sleeve governs the leakage, which is 100 micro-amperes at 100kV per Yale Method 712-1701 Rev 1 "Routine Production Test."
