Description
18mm Nylon 3-strand rope - by the metre
Nylon rope is a premium-performance rope designed for demanding applications where strength and elasticity matter. Its ability to stretch under load makes it particularly useful where sudden force or dynamic loading occurs.
It is a favourite choice for mooring, general marina use, towing and winching and a wide range of industrial uses.
Some people refer to polypropylene rope as nylon but in fact each is made from a completely different synthetic polymer.
Why choose Nylon rope over Polypropylene rope?
Nylon (Polyamid) was one of the first fully synthetic fibres developed commercially and became famous for replacing natural ropes in demanding industrial and marine environments.
Nylon is stronger and heavier; it is more resistant to abrasion and UV rays, it sinks in water and can handle shock, which is why it is ideal for mooring and anchoring.
Polypropylene floats in water, is more resistant to acids and alkalis and as a ‘general purpose’ rope is usually cheaper.
Both types of rope are popular and have their uses – it’s your choice!
Key Characteristics
- High strength – Break Load 6,700kg
- Abrasion – excellent resistance
- UV – good resistance
- Chemicals – moderate resistance
- Slightly elastic so can reasonably withstand shock
- Absorbs water so will not float
- Melting point 215°C.
The standard finish for this rope is for both the left and right ends to be heat sealed. If you would like to have them either soft spliced or hard spliced please visit our 'rope end finishes' category and add the number required.
Typical uses for our white nylon 3-strand rope:
- Mooring and docking boats
- Towing and recovery
- Winch lines
- Heavy-duty securing
- Industrial lifting support
