Is nylon cord stretchy?
Nylon has a high level of flexibility. When necessary, it’s possible to stretch nylon rope by up to 20% without affecting its strength – and it will simply return to its original size afterwards. This makes it particularly good when you need the rope to be more shock absorbent, such as towing or mooring.
What is nylon cord used for?
Common Uses Probably one of the most versatile ropes, nylon rope is commonly used for pulley systems or winches, because of its resistance to abrasion and shock absorption. Nylon rope’s shock absorption qualities make it a great rope for lifting or towing jobs, where rope needs to absorb a dynamic load.
