Chains & Ropes

Polyester is differentiated from the other synthetic rope types by its low stretch characteristics, excellent abrasion resistance, and only slightly lower strength-to-weight ratio when compared to Nylon. Due to its low stretch characteristics, Polyester cannot absorb shock loads very efficiently. It will not absorb water which creates a lightweight material ...

Nylon is the strongest synthetic material for commonly used DIY ropes. Nylon is best used for absorbing shock loads, such as towing, because it has an elasticity characteristic that will absorb the shock and return the rope very close to its original length after being stretched. Nylon can last several ...
