FIBRE ROPES High performance ropes LANKO®FORCE with TIPTO® jacket LANKO®FORCE with jacket is produced for applications where heat build-up and heavy abrasion is expected. The presented data is with a TIPTO®jacket. This is a durable jacket with excellent abrasion characteristics and is advised to be used for those applications where the load bearing core members needs to be protected against external heat built up and / or abrasion. This jacket has a specific gravity smaller than 1, which will keep the rope afloat. Applications: mooring, towing, salvage, iceberg towing and lifting.

All together this gives more protection to the load bearing cores. In the event one or two strands have suffered excessive abrasion during an operation, these can be repaired by putting a seizing over each abraided strand. The rope can return to the job without too much volume added by seizing. Despite the over braiding of the jacket, the rope is still an eight strand rope. She can be spliced like any other eight strand ropes and can be customized on location if the work requires so. Diameter, weight and MBF (as well as other mechanical and physical properties) are determined according ISO 2307:2005. The MBF refers to the breaking strength in the rope/wire itself, without splices or any other form of termination that can be formed with or without the use of accessories/fittings.
