NIKA-POLYESTER 8 ropes are 100% Polyester ropes fit for applications requiring abrasion resistance, moderate elasticity, and shock absorption properties.
They have excellent resistance to abrasion, sunlight, chemicals, and cyclic loading wet/dry.
They are user-friendly, rotation-resistant, and easy to splice. Polyester fibers possess the best endurance among all the high tenacity fibers.
APPLICATIONS: MOORING – ANCHORING – TOW LINES – MOORING TAILS
They are produced according to international standards such as DIN EN ISO 1141 & CI 1304.
NIKA-POLYESTER 8 ropes comply with the latest regulations and recommendations for the safe mooring of tankers.
