HMPE Rope · Class Cert.

Plasma 12 Strand HMPE

Plasma 12 strand is the highest strength synthetic rope available, manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) enhanced by a patented recrystallization process. It's especially effective in medium to large diameters, where strengths run over 50% higher and creep is significantly less than other HMPE alternatives.

Highest strength to weight ratio of any fibre
Low creep
High UV & chemical resistance
Very low elongation
Safer than wire
Easy to splice
Excellent durability
DNV & ABS class type approval

Plasma 12 strand is the highest strength synthetic rope available. Plasma 12 strand is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) that has been enhanced by a patented recrystallization process. This process is especially effective in medium to large diameter ropes where strengths are over 50% higher and creep is significantly less than that of other HMPE alternatives.

Plasma 12 strand is delivered standard with a polyurethane finish and is easily spliced using a simple lockstitch type splice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 Tuck Splice. Its soft, torque free braided construction provides easy handling.

Plasma rope has the added advantage of DNV and ABS class type approval throughout its range.
