Spectra-Siri S12® COVERED

Spectra-Siri S12® COVERED are High Modulus / High-Performance ropes with long-term fatigue life properties and outstanding quality performance ideal for the critical operations of the shipping industry. They consist of a 12-strand load-bearing core (Spectra^® fibers) and a protective braided cover. This rope construction is firm, round, and torque-free.

Applications

Spectra-Siri S12® COVERED ropes combine the excellent properties of Honeywell’s Spectra^® fibers and an insuperable manufacturing process. The use of the special NikaThane coating application on the Spectra^® fibers and the superior in-house Linear Structural Preformation (LSP) process provides a high-quality robust rope construction with higher strength efficiency and excellent abrasion resistance. Spectra-Siri S12® COVERED ropes exhibit excellent resistance to UV sunlight and weathering degradation and thus an extended service life (more than 7 years).

Spectra-Siri S12® COVERED ropes are an excellent wire-rope alternative and offer several benefits:

Most cost-effective ropes to purchase due to lower labor requirements in operations and decreased mooring & towing operating times
High strength-to-size ratio of the HC Spectra® fibers, allowing for lighter weight ropes that are easier to handle.
No corrosion, superior chemical resistance, increased abrasion resistance and excellent flex fatigue
2-3 times longer service life (compared to wire ropes)
Negligible maintenance costs

Spectra-Siri S12® COVERED ropes are produced according to the latest edition of ISO 10325 and they comply with OCIMF’s latest regulations & recommendations for the safe mooring of commercial vessels.
