It is lightweight, high-strength, flexible, easy to handle and splice, and it floats. Quantum-12 utilizes Dyneema® SK78 fiber and also utilizes Samson’s patented DPX fiber technology, resulting in a rope that maintains the advantages of Dyneema®—extreme strength and light weight, cut and abrasion resistance, and adds a higher coefficient of friction for use where enhanced grip is critical.

When replacing traditional polyester lines with ML-12, it is possible to downsize the diameter of the line on existing equipment, pull the same load, and store much longer lengths. In addition, ML-12 has reduced elongation over traditional polyester lines.9SamsonRope.com SATURN-12 CLASS II HIGH-PERFORMANCE Made with Dyneema ® SK78 Saturn-12 has proven to be one of the longest lasting, most durable ropes available, increasing residual strength as much as 15–20% when compared with other HMPE lines and their conventional coatings. Saturn-12's proprietary Samthane coating improves abrasion resistance and has been enhanced for greater UV resistance. In addition, Saturn-12 is made with Dyneema ® SK78 fiber, the next generation in HMPE fiber technology. SK78 provides improved service life in applications where creep results from long-term static loads. This torque-free, flexible, and easy-to-handle construction is easy to inspect and splice in the field.
