NIKA-Siri S12® COVERED

advanced divider

NIKA-Siri S12® COVERED are High Modulus / High-Performance ropes with excellent properties, ideal for the demanding shipping industry. They consist of a 12strand load-bearing core (highest quality UHMWPE fibers) and a protective braided jacket. This rope construction is firm, round, and torque-free.

The protective jacket offers very good abrasion resistance and gripping properties when used on winches, capstans, and other types of hardware.

The protective jacket offers very good abrasion resistance and gripping properties when used on winches, capstans, and other types of hardware. Also, it provides extra protection against UV sunlight and environmental degradation. The jacket is non-load bearing and repairable with the use of repair kit.

The 12strand core is treated with NikaThane coating and the unique Linear Structural Preformation (LSP) process enhance the fiber’s superior characteristics and improve drastically the structural stability and the strength efficiency of the rope.

APPLICATIONS

NIKA-Siri S12® COVERED ropes are 7-8 times stronger than steel ropes and 3 times stronger than polyester (on a weight by weight comparison). When compared to wire ropes, NIKA-Siri S12® COVERED ropes are stronger (for the same weight), lighter (making them easy and fast to handle), safer to use, and cost-saving (minimum maintenance needs, no greases, faster operating times).

NIKA-Siri S12® COVERED ropes are an excellent wire-rope alternative and some of the reasons are the following:

NIKA-Siri S12 COVERED ropes are produced according to ISO 10325-2009 and they comply with OCIMF’s latest regulations & recommendations for the safe mooring of the tanker-LPG-LNG vessels.
