Material Selection
Selantic slings use high-strength materials like HMPE and Aramid fibers, chosen based on application requirements, providing low elongation, precise length tolerances, and high strength performance.

Protective Covers and Hardware
Slings are encased in durable protective covers to prevent wear. Cortland also offers specialized hardware like thimbles, shackles, hooks, and spreader bars, custom-engineered into the sling design.

Applications
These slings are used in surface overhead crane lifting, subsea installations, and load transfer operations, recognized by class societies for ease of handling, storage, and transport.

Plasma® Rope Technology
Cortland's patented Plasma® rope is strong, lightweight, and durable, suitable for heavy lifts, neutrally buoyant in water, and offers easy inspection and repair.

Chafe Protection Solutions
Cortland provides various chafe protection products like NXT, SX, and Spectra-lite chafe sleeves, offering different levels of protection based on application needs.

Specifications and Performance
The document includes detailed specifications for different sling types, including material, construction, capacity, and certifications. It highlights the performance data for Plasma® 12 x 12 rope slings, emphasizing their strength and weight advantages over traditional wire ropes.

Specifications
The document discusses nominal rope diameter and circumference, noting changes under load and stabilization effects. Pre-loading or proof-loading is recommended for precise sling length tolerances.

Weights
Weights are calculated as linear density under standard pre-load plus 4%.
