This construction addresses the most critical properties of the fibers to provide very high strength translation efficiency for larger ropes. Plasma is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) that has been enhanced by Cortland’s recrystallization process. Plasma 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. 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 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. LoCo (low coefficient of friction) 12×12 retains all of the features & benefits of standard Plasma® ropes with the added characteristic of a reduced coefficient of friction coating. GTM braided rope standard color is orange, but is available with a polyurethane finish in clear or any of five additional colors black, yellow, red, blue or green.ĪBS Type Approval and DNV Type Approval approved sizes - up to 4” diameter (96 mm)ĪBS Type Approval and DNV Type Approval approved sizes - up to 4" diameter (96 mm) This core is encased in a tightly braided jacket of a new generation HMPE fiber that offers the highest abrasion and cut resistance durability.* The final construction of core and cover work in balance to provide excellent service life. GTM Double Braid ropes are constructed with a braided Plasma® HMPE fiber core. GTM Mooring Lines 24mm to 44mm can be supplied with MEG4 certification. GTM ropes can be used in multiple applications such as vessel mooring lines for Articulated Tug & Barges (ATB’s), Gilson winch lines used in commercial fishing, as well as helicopter long lines. These durable, torque-free synthetic ropes are excellent for replacing steel wire rope in winch applications and are designed to withstand drum compression. GTM Composite Double Braid ropes have very high strength, are firm with a round profile, and have extremely low stretch.
