Constructed using specially twisted yarns of NIKA-Steel® fibers with High Tenacity Polyester fibers (in a 60% - 40% w/w combination respectively) in the outer layers of the strand. Each strand is composed of mixed NIKA-Steel® / HT Polyester yarns in the outer layers and NIKA-Steel® yarns in the core layer. Their mechanically balanced structure, accordant to EN ISO 10556, protects the strands’ outer layers against abrasion while achieving high breaking strengths. Produced according to international standards such as EN ISO 10556. Comply with the latest regulations and recommendations of OCIMF for the safe mooring of tankers. APPLICATIONS: MOORING – ANCHORING – TAILS Specific gravity: 0.99 (Floating) Average Polyester w/w percentage: 25% Melting point: 165 °C (NIKA-STEEL®) / 265°C (PES) Elongation at breaking: 15%-18% Chemical resistance to ALKALI: VERY GOOD Chemical resistance to ORGANIC SOLVENT: VERY GOOD Chemical resistance to ACID: EXCELLENT. Strength loss in NaOH and H2SO4 in high concentration and temperature
