Single Braided 8-strand ropes are constructed by covering NIKASTEEL® external layer(s) sub strands with Polyester yarns at a 40%-60% proportion respectively (ULTRA Mixed NIKASTEEL®) exceeding 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 cover 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 CI 1302B and DIN EN 14686. 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.
