1 The original ATLAS

2 innovation. Made in Germany The innovator is also the manufacturer Together with a special division at Bayer (which over the years became the market leader Perlon Nextrusion), we developed the revolutionary ATLAS rope as long ago as the 1960s. The cordage comprises monofilaments and multifilaments. Polyamide monofilament ropes have for years been serving as mooring lines for meeting the toughest requirements with outstanding characteristics such as UV resistance, abrasion resistance, suitability for winches and high breaking loads. ATLAS ropes are synthetic stranded ropes which combine the attributes of wire ropes and fibre ropes. They are dimensionally stable, flexible, require no maintenance, and are resistant to corrosion and seawater. Their elongation characteristics lie roughly between those for steel wire and polyamide. ATLAS ropes have been proving themselves for many years in harsh everyday conditions on the world s biggest container vessels, multipurpose vessels and cruise ships.

3 strength. Made in Germany The best rope for automatic winches Coiled ATLAS ropes are perfect for reeling onto mooring winches. They possess an outstanding A surprising degree of elasticity for an exceptional front-to-back ratio (even in rough seas), high bending cycle strength and can be stowed when damp. Even acids and oils cannot affect the tear strength and a remarkable resistance to corrosion and seawater result in an extraordinary material. ATLAS ropes do not absorb any fluids. longevity. Even after a few years of use, ATLAS ropes still have a residual tensile strength of up to 85%. Their excellent abrasion resistance is particularly worth mentioning. After a short period of use, the initial friction causes a kind of fluff to develop around the rope, which enables it to slide over winches and rollers with an especially low level of abrasion. Classified by the best Our ropes are supplied with test certificates, which we issue in cooperation with the ABS, DNV GL, BV, RINA, LR, RMRS, Klaas NK and CGS classification societies.
