Dielectric Strength

The maximum allowable leakage for new dry Yalon™ is 2.0 milliamperes at 60K DC Volts when tested in accordance with Yale Cordage Test Method DTP-185. Caution: Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will dramatically increase a rope's conductivity.

Yalon is made to Yale Cordage Specification
