Marine Hawser Line 8 Strand Polyester Rope 48mmx220m With 1.8m Spliced Eye

8 Strand Polyester Rope Description

Our 8-strand Polyester Ropes are specially constructed to offer a non-revolving line. The special construction offers high resistance to the severe abrasive wear in harsh weather conditions. White in color, this polyester filament gives light weight, long wear, excellent abrasive resistance and low external and internal wear. It will not fuse on the sheaves nor freeze-up. It is rot proof.
It has superior abrasion resistance and is a good option if you need a rope as strong as nylon but not as elastic. Abrasion resistance gives exceptional durability for running over pulleys and polyester is therefore a popular general-purpose rope in the boating industry and is often used for clotheslines.

3 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NYLON AND POLYESTER

1. Flexibility
Nylon rope has a high level of flexibility. When necessary, it’s possible to stretch nylon rope by up to 20% without affecting its strength, and it will simply return to its original size afterwards. This makes it particularly good when you need the rope to be more shock absorbent, such as towing or mooring.

2. Absorbency
Both nylon and polyester sink in water, however, they differ greatly in terms of their absorbency.

Although nylon rope is normally very strong and this compromises its strength significantly. The fibres become waterlogged and start to sag.

They also take a long time to dry. Therefore, nylon isn’t the best option for wet conditions.

Polyester ropes, on the other hand, do not absorb water. Retain their normal level of strength when they’re wet and, as a result, they are a better choice for marine applications.

3.Temperature resistance
Another important difference between nylon and polyester is their resistance to heat. Nylon rope cannot withstand heat so well and will begin to degrade at 210°C. Polyester rope, however, has a high melting point of 260°C, so is typically a better choice in extreme temperatures.
