Nylon Rope and Polyester Rope - What's the Difference?

图片
On the surface,   Nylon Rope   and   Polyester Rope  may appear to be the same, and they do share many similar characteristics. For example, they are both made from industrial-grade synthetic materials, making them a stronger alternative to natural fiber ropes, and they are both UV resistant, abrasion resistant and corrosion resistant. However, there are some key differences between the two that make them more or less suitable for certain jobs.     Differences Flexibility Nylon polyester rope is highly flexible. If necessary, nylon rope can be stretched by up to 20% without compromising its strength - after which it will simply return to its original size. This makes it particularly good when you need the rope to be more shock absorbent, such as for towing or mooring. In contrast, polyester only stretches about 10% under pressure, making it particularly suitable for low-stress applications, such as flag poles, moorings, etc.   Braided Polyester Rope ...

Advantages of Using Nylon Ropes

Since the introduction of synthetic fibers to the rope industry in the 1950s, customers have had many different options for rope materials. Each rope fiber is unique in its characteristics and has its own advantages and disadvantages. Today, we would like to talk about the advantages of using   nylon rope. Advantages of nylon Strength If you are looking for high strength ropes, nylon ropes are a good choice. Nylon is the strongest of the most common rope fibers, much stronger than polypropylene, polyethylene or organic fibers, and barely beating out polyester.   Elasticity Nylon has a high tensile coefficient, which provides a degree of elasticity that comes in handy in some applications. Nylon rope has a stretch at break of about 15-28%, which means that at the high end it is almost twice as strong as polyester. Nylon rope is well suited for shock absorption and dynamic load applications because of its elasticity, making it a clear choice for mooring and towing activities as ...
