Plasma 12 strand is manufactured from Honeywell Spectra Fiber 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 standard Spectra 12 strand. Plasma 12 strand comes 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.

COLUMBIAN NON-REVOLVING SKI-TOW ROPE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR ROPE TOW SKI AREAS Safety is a key requirement in ski tow ropes. The natural tendency of ropes to revolve under tension introduces an element of danger in standard lay construction ropes. A revolving rope can catch gloves, parkas, sweaters and scarves. Columbian s ski tow ropes in 8-strand construction are specially constructed to offer a non-revolving line. The special construction offers high resistance to the severe abrasive wear of dragging over snow and ice in addition to the non-revolving factor. Columbian s PD110 is truly the finest fiber ski tow rope. White in color, a combination of polyester and polyethylene filament gives light weight, long wear, excellent abrasive resistance and low external and internal wear. It will not fuse on the sheaves nor freeze-up. It is rot proof. Order in required lengths in either 1 or 1 1/8 diameter. Dia. Circ. Approx. Wgt. Breaking Strg.

Many uses of rope involve serious risk of injury to personnel or damage to valuable property. This danger is often obvious, as when a heavy load is supported above one or more workmen. An equally dangerous situation occurs if personnel are in line with a rope under excessive tension. Should the rope fail, it may recoil with considerable force especially if the rope is nylon. Persons should be warned against standing in line with the rope. In all cases where any such risks are present, or there is any question about the loads involved or the conditions of use, the working load should be substantially reduced and the rope properly inspected. NOTE: Lb/600ft. shown are average figures with a variation of +/- 5% of the figure shown. New Rope Tensile Strengths are based on tests of new rope, tested according to Cordage Institute specifications that is, a straight tensile test at slow speed using eye-spliced test pieces.
