NIKA-CORD 8-Strand Ropes are constructed using double twisted yarns of NIKA-Steel® fibers. The NIKA-Steel® fibers are a special melt mixture of high-quality European raw materials (Polypropylene, High-Density Polyethylene, UV stabilizer, and other improving elements). NIKA-Steel® fibers are produced with a unique recipe (material percentages – stretching ratios – stretching temperatures) and they exhibit much higher tenacity and abrasion resistance than most conventional monofilament and flat Polypropylene and Polyolefin fibers.
The combination of the powerful NIKA-Steel® fibers and the elaborated double twisting process make the NIKA-CORD ropes an excellent choice. Additionally, the double-twisting process offers improved performance in dynamic and shock-loading conditions while maximizing the resistance against internal and external abrasion.
NIKA-CORD ropes have proved over the years an excellent choice in applications that require floating properties, ease of handling, high breaking strength, and extended service life. This unique rope construction makes the NIKA-CORD ropes the most reliable Polyolefin rope in the market. NIKA-CORD ropes are UV stabilized (160 KLY – suitable for Florida-USA & Dubai-UAE sunshine conditions)
NIKA-CORD ropes are constructed according to ISO 10572 and they comply with the latest regulations and recommendations of OCIMF for the safe mooring of tankers.
