Plasma® LoCo 12 Strand
Dyneema® SK75, 12-StrandPlasma® LoCo 12-Strand retains all of the features and 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. The LoCo design can be quickly spliced using Cortland’s recommended splicing techniques for low coefficient of friction ropes.
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.
