Plasma® HiCo 12×12

Dyneema® SK75, 12×12

Plasma® HiCo 12×12 retains all the features and benefits of standard Plasma 12×12 ropes with the added characteristic of an increased coefficient of friction coating to allow for better gripping in applications such as H-Bitt or capstan rendering, and traction winch systems.

Plasma® HiCo 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.

Cortland’s Plasma® 12-Strand 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.
