Plasma 12 strand is the highest strength synthetic rope available. Plasma 12 strand is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) that has been enhanced by a patented recrystallization process.
This process is especially effective in medium to large diameter ropes where strengths are over 50% higher and creep is significantly less than that of other HMPE alternatives.
Plasma 12 strand is delivered standard with a polyurethane finish and is easily spliced using a simple lockstitch type splice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 Tuck Splice. Its soft, torque free braided construction provides easy handling.
Plasma rope has the added advantage of DNV and ABS class type approval throughout its range.
