Bexcoflex Tails

Provides required elongation in mooring configurations with HMPE and steel wire

General

  • BEXCOFLEX ® compared to NYLON
  • Smaller size and weight compared to nylon tails
  • According to OCIMF guidelines, synthetic tails should have an MBL of 25% higher than the MBL of a mooring line. Tails made of polyamide (nylon) should have a 37% higher MBL than a mooring line because of the loss of strength when wet.
  • Better UV resistance
  • Marine finish
  • TCLL (comparable to pure polyester and significantly higher than for nylon)
  • Elongation (comparable to polyester)
Advantages

Advantages

  • Very good abrasion resistance:
