Southern Ropes Nylon

12-Strand Nylon

General purpose rope for dynamic loading.

Nylon has excellent stretch and recovery characteristics, and is used in many anchoring and mooring applications. When new, nylon ropes can stretch up to 35% of their length before break. Stretch characteristics will reduce relative to the amount of use and can lose 10% of its tensile strength when wet.
