Plasma® 12×12
Dyneema® SK75, 12×12Plasma® 12×12 is a 12-strand braided rope in which each of the 12 strands is, in turn, a 12-strand rope, or braided primary strand. This construction addresses the most critical properties of the fibers to provide a very high strength translation efficiency for larger ropes. The design also provides superior snag resistance compared to other 12×12 designs which is important when dragging the rope. Plasma 12×12 is supplied with our standard polyurethane finish, although other coatings can be applied to suit specific applications.
Cortland’s Plasma® 12×12 ropes are the culmination of 25+ years of engineering expertise in the HMPE industry. Our dedication to providing customers with industry-leading synthetic line is and always has been the goal. Our continued innovation and unwavering desire are to provide the strongest and most reliable product available.
