Description
Nylon is the strongest synthetic material used for DIY ropes. Nylon is also best for absorbing shock loads, so its ideally suited for hauling, lifting and towing. Its elasticity allows it to absorb shock and the rope returns very close to its original length after being stretched. It is very durable and has excellent abrasion resistance. Twisted construction is a good, economical option compared to other construction options. Do not use for overhead lifting. Never exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL). Nylon is the strongest synthetic material for commonly used DIY rope. Nylon has significant elasticity and is best used for absorbing shock loads such as experienced when towing. Nylon rope absorbs the shock, stretches, and then returns close to its original length once the load has been removed. Nylon has good abrasion resistance, does not float, and will absorb water when wet. When nylon is wet it will shrink slightly and lose 10% to 15% of its strength. Nylon is ideal for use as a tow rope, anchor line, dock line, safety lines, and tie-downs. Safe Work Load of 280lb Model Number: 300131BGV1. Age Group: adult.
