Product information
Acera daGama SBA construction offers a tough HMPE rope solution, with full cover braid protection. This product offers protection to the 12-strand HMPE core, with a tight 24 braided PES cover braid layer - bonded together using an exclusive adhesive coating. Timm SBA™ is integrated into the core of the rope.
Acera with SBA™ includes the feature of reducing the risk of snap back.
The technology behind this innovative solution lies in the energy absorption properties of the SBA™ core of the rope. If the load bearing construction breaks, the SBA™ will absorb the snap back forces, resulting in a reduction of snap back. With safety measures like Timm™ SBA™, you can mitigate risks to personnel during mooring operations, creating a safer mooring environment.
Every yarn, both in the core and the cover are individually coated through our unique, rotating 360° Lick-roller process. Single yarn coating extends service life, strength and internal / external abrasion resistance. This product is ideally suited to single drum winching. This is an adaptable product, which can be customized to suit your intended application.
