G/T Composite Double Braid
Plasma® Core, Polyester Jacket, Double BraidG/T Composite ropes provide high strength, low stretch and superior abrasion resistance in a firm round jacketed construction. The ropes are constructed with a braided Plasma® core. This core is encased in a tightly braided jacket of a new generation HMPE fiber that offers the highest abrasion resistance and durability.* G/T Composite ropes can be used in mooring applications where a very high strength, firm and round torque free rope is desired.
G/T Composite can also be used in commercial fishing as wire rope replacement and helicopter longlines. These ropes are available with a polyurethane finish in clear or any of six colors, and are designed to withstand drum compression on mooring winches.
* GT Composite ropes can also be designed with materials other than HMPE for jacketing depending on application. Linear density & external fiber properties will change depending on jacketing material but the strength will remain the same on a per size basis. Please contact Cortland for further information.
