Double Braided Ropes Polyester/Nika-Steel combination are constructed by braiding a 32/64 strand Polyester sheath (or jacket) over a hollow 24-braided NIKA-STEEL® core rope. Their construction is fit for applications requiring abrasion resistance properties. They have low friction coefficient & excellent resistance to abrasion (Polyester jacket) wet/dry, sunlight & chemicals, good resistance to cyclic loading and maintain the same performance wet/dry. They are user friendly, rotation resistant and easy to splice. Their larger contact area reduces the fatigue on the rope when it spools and when passing through fairleads. Polyester fibers possess the best endurance among all the high tenacity fibers. These ropes are according to the latest regulations and recommendations for the safe mooring of the tankers. These ropes are produced in 2 executions:

• Hard for automatic winches
• Soft for easier manual handling
