3-strand twisted nylon is known for its elasticity and tremendous shock absorbing qualities. 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. It has good abrasion resistance, is rot proof, resists oil, gasoline, and most chemicals. It has good resistance to UV rays. Nylon will last 4-5 times longer than natural fibers. Additional sizes and colors available to special order. Reels 600Ft, 1200 ft
