KingCord Smooth Braid Nylon Rope
Smooth braid nylon in four sizes. Nylon stretches under load, and that stretch is what absorbs shock instead of transmitting it straight into whatever the rope is tied to.
- Four sizes: 1/8 in. x 50 ft., 3/16 in. x 50 ft., 3/16 in. x 100 ft. and 1/4 in. x 100 ft.
- Stretches under load and absorbs shock
- Smooth braid gives a round, firm rope that runs cleanly through a pulley or a hand
- Does not snag the way a twisted rope does
- Nylon sinks and does absorb water, so dry it before storing
Questions
Why nylon rather than polypropylene?
Nylon is stronger for its size and stretches to absorb shock. Polypropylene floats and resists water better. Pick nylon for strength, polypropylene for wet use.
Does it float?
No. Nylon sinks and takes up water.
Does it shrink when wet?
Nylon takes up some water and can tighten slightly. Allow for that on anything tensioned and left out in the rain.
How much can it hold?
