GZ Composite Double Braid

Toro® Core, HMPE Jacket, Double Braid

GZ Composite ropes provide high strength, low stretch and superior abrasion resistance in a firm round jacketed construction. The ropes are constructed with a braided Toro® core. This core is encased in a tightly braided jacket of a new generation HMPE fiber that offers the highest abrasion resistance and durability.*

GZ Composite ropes can be used in mooring applications where a very high strength, firm and round torque free rope is desired. GZ 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.

* GZ 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.
