Arborist Rope: New England - 1/2" 16 Strand Safety Blue & Ultra Vee (NEW) Rope

Braided Safety Blue is a true 1/2" climbing rope, designed for commercial applications. Available is both standard white and high visibility orange/white. Braided Safety Blue is constructed using our trademark twisted parallel blue nylon core yarns, jacketed by a 16-strand braid of tightly plied polyester over polyolefin. Additionally, the cover is treated with a protective finish to minimizes abrasion and maximize rope life. The blue core yarns both ensure that the rope remains firm and round, and acts as a warning flag if the cover is cut.

FEATURES:
Low elongation
Good Strength to weight ratio
Abrasion Resistant
Excellent Wet/dry strength retention
Torque-free non-hockling
Stays flexible and very easy to handle
Lengths Available: 120', 150', 200', 600', 1200'

UH-NRRP112: New England, 1/2" 16 Strand Ultra Vee Fall Protection Rope, Arborist and Safety Line, 120 Ft., 150 Ft., 200 Ft. NEWLY ADDED OCTOBER 2008[3252-16-00120 Series]
~~$238.00~~ $201.95 On Sale!
Same great performance characteristics as Braided Safety Blue, but with the added feature of a high visibility green and white cover pattern.

Blue safety core yarns act as a warning flag should rope become heavily abraded or cut.
16-Strand cover consists of tightly-plied polyester surrounding polyolefin cores, significantly reducing weight without compromising firmness and roundness.

Cover yarns are treated with a special formula enhancing abrasion resistance and extending the service life of the rope.

High visibility cover yarns stands out in the workplace making it an ideal critical safety line.

Tensile Strength: 7000 lbs.

Sunlight/UV: Very little degradation from sunlight. Can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly.

Chemicals: Nylon will degrade with strong oxidizing agents, mineral acids, and 90% formic acid. May discolor when exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide. Polyester has good resistance to most chemicals, except 95% sulfuric acid and strong alkalines at boil. Polypropylene has excellent resistance to most acids and alkalines, except chlorosulphonic, concentrated sulfuric acids, and chlorinated hydrocarbons at 160°F. Additionally polypropylene withstands most diluted bleaching solutions.

Dielectrics: Good resistance to the passage of electrical current. However, dirt, surface contaminants, water entrapment, and the like can significantly affect dielectric properties. Extreme caution should be exercised any time a rope is in the proximity of live circuits.

Heat: Nylon melts at 460°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F. Polyester melts at 480°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F. Polypropylene melts at 300°F with progressive strength loss above 200°F.

Working Loads: No blanket safe working load (SWL) recommendations can be made for any line because SWL's must be calculated based on application, conditions of use, and potential danger to personnel among other considerations. It is recommended that the end user establish working loads and safety factors based on best practices established by the end user's industry; by professional judgment and personal experience; and after thorough assessment of all risks. The SWL is a guideline for the use of a rope in good condition for non-critical applications and should be reduced where life, limb, or valuable property is involved, or in cases of exceptional service such as shock loading, sustained loading, severe vibration, etc. The Cordage Institute specifies that the SWL of a rope shall be determined by dividing the Minimum Tensile Strength of the rope by a safety factor. The safety factor ranges from 5 to 12 for non-critical uses and is typically set at 15 for life lines.
