Plasma® 12x12 is a 12-strand braided rope in which each of the 12 strands is, in turn, a 12-strand rope, or braided primary strand.
Plasma® is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) that has been enhanced by a patented recrystallization process. This patented construction addresses the most critical properties of the fibres to provide a very high strength translation efficiency for larger ropes. This design allows for long lay lengths, making rope that is more flexible for bending applications, easy to inspect, and can be quickly spliced using standard 12 strand splicing techniques.
Plasma® 12x12 is supplied with a standard polyurethane finish, although other coatings can be applied to suit specific applications.
Plasma rope has the added advantage of DNV and ABS class type approval throughout its rang
