NIKA-FORCE Ropes are constructed using the well-known NIKA-Steel® fibers. The NIKA-Steel® fibers are a special melt mixture of high-quality European raw materials (Polypropylene, High-Density Polyethylene, UV stabilizer, and other improving elements). NIKA-Steel® fibers are produced with a unique recipe (materials’ mixing ratios – stretching ratios – stretching temperatures) and they exhibit much higher tenacity and abrasion resistance than most conventional monofilament and flat Polypropylene and Polyolefin fibers.
APPLICATIONS: MOORING – ANCHORING – MESSENGER LINES – TOWING
Katradis Marine Ropes SA’s technical staff combined the best raw materials and through a carefully designed & efficient production process managed to present a reliable alternative to NIKA-CΟRD ropes. NIKA-FORCE ropes exhibit high breaking strengths and very good resistance to abrasion (due to the highly abrasion-resistant NIKA-Steel® yarns).
NIKA-FORCE ropes are UV stabilized (160KLY – suitable for Florida-USA & DUBAI-UAE sunshine conditions). NIKA-FORCE ropes are constructed according to ISO 10572 and they comply with the latest regulations and recommendations of OCIMF for the safe mooring of tankers.
