Plasma fiber is an HMPE fiber rope which is produced in a proprietary process, and in rope form represents the best strength/weight ratio of most popular high modulus synthetic ropes.
They have similar strength, weight, elongation and abrasion/cut resistant properties to ropes manufactured from Dyneema HMPE fibers.
Plasma ropes are more cut and abrasion resistant than conventional synthetic fiber ropes.
They are much lighter and stronger than nylon and polyester.
They have similar elongation properties to wire rope; they are not good for applications needing elastic elongation.
They have superior bend, flex fatigue and repeat loading characteristics to wire rope and most conventional synthetics.
Plasma ropes are more expensive than wire or conventional synthetics but offer longer service life and safety through ease of handling flexibility and weight.
