NYLON ROPE |
| |
Nylon Ropes
are manufactured from Polyamide fibres. Polyamide
fibres are man-made and they are the strongest of
the conventional fibres available to the ropemaker.
Nylon Ropes have exceptional strength, and
excellent extension and recovery characteristics.
They are easy to handle and knot and are used in a
wide range of general and industrial applications,
particularly in the marine and shipping industries
where exceptional performance, high strength and
good elasticity are required.
Nylon Ropes are available in the full range of
3-strand hawser laid and 8-strand plaited (square)
rope construction. |

Strength: Nylon
Ropes have high strength when dry, but their
strength is reduced marginally when wet
(approx. 10%). Nylon Ropes are the only
man-made fibre ropes which show a reduction in
strength on wetting. However, full strength is
restored on drying out, and the initial
strength superiority of Nylon Ropes over ropes
made from other fibres gives a very adequate
margin to compensate for this loss.
Elongation: 23-42%
extension causes rupture when the rope is dry.
When the rope is wet, 27-34% extension will
cause rupture. Extension will depend upon rope
size and construction.
Energy Absorption:
Nylon Ropes have a high energy absorption
capacity and can absorb repeated shock loads
of a high order. Nylon Ropes' high strength
and excellent elongation and recovery
characteristics makes them particularly
suitable for marine and industrial
applications.
Abrasion Resistance:
Nylon Ropes have exceptional resistance to
abrasion.
Specific Gravity:
Nylon Ropes have a specific gravity of 1.14.
Resistance to Chemicals:
Nylon Ropes are resistant to acetone, organic
solvents, weak organic and mineral acids, and
are substantially inert to alkalis.
Sensitivity: Nylon
Ropes are sensitive to phenols, strong acid
and concentrated formic acid.
Reaction to Flame:
Nylon Ropes will not support combustion. They
soften at 235oC and melt at 250oC leaving a
bead which has the characteristic Nylon smell
(celery).
Reaction to Water:
Nylon's water absorption is small and Nylon
Ropes do not swell or distort when wet. The
small loss of strength when wet is fully
recovered when the rope dries.
Storage: Nylon Ropes
should be stored in a cool, well ventilated
dry store, never in closed containers.
Nylon Ropes should be stacked on wooden
gradings or racks, or special coil pegs on
stands. They should not be exposed to the
weather or direct sun light. When storing
Nylon Ropes, ensure that they are stored away
from: racks of heavy objects whose inadvertent
fall may result in damage to the rope; from
chemicals and other agents; containers
containing liquids which may leak; and sources
of sparks.
Nylon Ropes should not be stored under
conditions of high heat or excessively drying
atmospheres.
Nylon Ropes should never be dried in front of
a fire or stored near a stove or other sources
of heat. |
