Plasma® LoCo 12×12
Dyneema® SK75, 12×12Plasma® LoCo 12×12 retains all of the features & benefits of standard Plasma® ropes with the added characteristic of a reduced coefficient of friction coating. The enhanced coating provides improved UV resistance and reduces internal heat build-up and abrasion associated with constant tension-tension fatigue, relative movement between the rope and fixed surfaces, and during cyclical bending. Cortland’s proprietary LoCo coating process ensures superior adherence to the braided Plasma rope, providing an effective bond for increased service life and wear especially in wet environments.
Plasma® LoCo 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 very high strength translation efficiency for larger ropes. This design provides superior snag resistance compared to other 12-Strand designs which is important when dragging the rope.
