NIKAFORCE® Ropes are a "MELT MIXTURE" * of first quality European virgin raw materials Polypropylene, Polyethylene (Min 15% - Max 50%) ** and UV stabilizer and other improving elements (5%), bright white colour with red-green stripes.
They are made of round continuous filaments (MONOFILAMENT type) with high tenacity yarns, almost like Nylon's.
The above, in combination with the high quality added UV stabilisation protection of 160 KLY (suitable for Florida, USA & Dubai, UAE sunshine) make NIKAFORCE® ropes the most reliable ones in the market.
NIKAFORCE® ropes are according to the latest regulations and recommendations of OCIMF for the safe mooring of the tankers
