Nylon Double Braid

Nylon Double Braid is the ideal option for applications that demand high strength and excellent shock absorption, with good resistance to abrasion, sunlight and chemicals.

  • Good UV resistance
  • High abrasion resistance
  • Very high elongation for load dampening
  • Perfect for cyclone hawser where high elongation is required
  • Retained flexibility
Specific Gravity1.14
Melting Point215°C
Critical Temp.100°C
Elongation at Break21.8%
Coefficient of Friction0.10*
Floats / SinksSinks
UV ResistanceGood
Wet AbrasionExcellent
