White color 12 strand Polyamide Nylon mooring rope for ship reparing

Nylon Mooring Rope Product Decription

Nylon is more flexible. Unlike polyester, nylon rope has an impressive stretch resistance, which may be desirable if you need that extra “give.”

This means that you can stretch out a nylon rope as needed, and the rope will still return to its normal size when you are done with the job. For example, nylon’s flexibility is particularly handy for projects like an anchor line where you want that bit of “give.”

Nylon is shock resistant. While nylon and polyester are both strong synthetic ropes, nylon is the winner when it comes to shock jobs.

Because of its flexibility, nylon is able to maintain its strength despite withstanding high levels of stress.

Nylon Mooring Rope Basic characteristics

Strength

Nylon Rope is the strongest of all rope fibers in common use. It is significantly stronger than polypropylene, polyethylene, organic fibers and polyester.

Elasticity & Shock Absorption

Nylon has a high stretch factor, around 15-28% at break, providing a level of elasticity that is handy for certain applications. Generally used for absorbing shock loads and dynamic load applications such as lifting, mooring or towing because it has the ability to return to it’s original length after being stretched.

Resistance

It also has good resistance to abrasion, UV rays, mildew, rot and chemical exposure, lasting several times longer than natural fibres. Like manila, nylon has good resistance to ultraviolet deterioration from sunlight. The rope’s nylon material will withstand the ultraviolet rays that can deteriorate rope. Due to its high resistances, nylon will not degrade through exposure to most chemicals and organic solvents and is resistant to rot, mildew, and other effects related to moisture.
