Double Esterlon
Double Esterlon is a double-braided rope constructed of premium over finish polyester fiber in both the sleeve and core. This product is identified by two green strands braided into the cover structure and is available with optional Maxijacket urethane coating to further enhance the rope’s wear resistance.
- Yarn treated with marine grade finish prior to twisting
- Balanced double braid
- High performance finish to reduce yarn-on-yarn abrasion
- Low stretch
- Excellent wear life
- Easily spliced
Double Esterlon has low stretch, high dielectric strength, and excellent wear life. Double Esterlon yields the highest-strength double braid polyester available. It is completely spliceable, delivering the cataloged strengths when spliced properly.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the rope’s rated working load constitute hazardous shock load and would void the normal working-load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and the safe use of rope.
Specific Gravity: 1.14
Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Double Esterlon is 100 micro-amperes when tested at 100kV per Yale Method 712-1701 Rev 1 “Routine Production Test.” Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase rope’s conductivity dramatically.
