SECTION 11 - Cordage 208Braided RopesD/S Composite Double BraidD/S Composite is a double braided rope with the innercore made of Spectra® and the outer sleeve of polyester. D/S Composite has very low elongation, high strength and thefeel and handling of polyester double braid.D/S Composite comes standard with an overlay marinefinish and is available on special order with a spliceablepolyurethane finish in clear or any of six colors.• High Strength• Low Stretch• Soft Hand• Torque Free• Easy SplicingPlasma 12® StrandPlasma® 12 Strand is the highest strength synthetic rope available.Plasma® 12 strand is manufactured from Honeywell Spectra®Fiber that has been enhanced by a patented recrystallizationprocess. This process is especially effective in medium to largediameter ropes where strengths are over 50% higher and creep issignificantly less that that of standard Spectra® 12 strand.Plasma® 12 Strand comes standard with a polyurethanefinish and is easily spliced using a simple lockstitch typesplice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 Tuck splice. Its soft, torque freebraided construction provides easy handling.• Highest Strength• Lowest Stretch• Low Creep• Soft Hand• Torque Free• Easy Splicing• FloatsD/S Composite Double BraidNom.
