Single Braided 8-strand (4x2) ropes are constructed by mixed twisting NIKASTEEL® and Polyester yarns in the outer layer of the strand at a 60%-40% proportion respectively (Improved Mixed NIKASTEEL®) according to Cordage Institute CI1302B-99 specification. Their layout is fit for applications requiring abrasion resistance properties. They have low friction coefficient & excellent resistance to abrasion (Polyester yarns) wet/dry, sunlight (as NIKASTEEL® yarns are more than adequately protected by the external Polyester yarns) & chemicals, good resistance to cyclic loading and maintain the same performance wet/dry. They are produced according to international standards such as DIN EN 14686, CI 1302B. They are user friendly, rotation resistant and easy to splice. Polyester fibers possess the best endurance among all the high tenacity fibers.

These ropes are according to the latest regulations and recommendations of OCIMF for the safe mooring of the tankers.
