Yale Polydyne rigging lines are high-strength, abrasion-resistant double-braid polyester ropes that will deliver professional performance. Polydyne rope is constructed with a polyester sleeve over a nylon core. The unique characteristic of Polydyne rope is that it has increased energy absorption, allowing you to rig down heavier loads than you normally would on a line of similar strength. This increased elasticity does mean that the rope will stretch more, so you'll need to be aware of the extra stretch in the line. The elasticity at 10% of breaking strength is 4% - roughly double that of Double Esterlon and about 4 times that of Samson Stable Braid.
