Nylon (polyamide) has the highest elasticity and strength compared
to polyester and polypropylene, high UV rating, excellent abrasion,
rot, mildew, marine growth, and chemical resistance and is
recommended by Whitsunday Discount Marine for dock-lines and
mooring/anchor lines. 3 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NYLON AND POLYESTER
Flexibility 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. By contrast,
polyester only stretches by about 10% under pressure, so it’s
particularly suitable for low-stress uses such as flagpoles,
tie-downs etc. Absorbency Both nylon and polyester sink in water,
however, they differ greatly in terms of their absorbency. Although
nylon rope is normally very strong it absorbs liquid quickly and
easily, and this compromises its strength significantly. The fibres
become waterlogged and start to sag. They also take a long time to
dry. Therefore, nylon isn’t the best option for wet conditions.
Polyester ropes, on the other hand, do not absorb water. They
retain their normal level of strength when they’re wet and, as a
result, they are a better choice for marine applications.
Temperature resistance Another important difference between nylon
and polyester is their resistance to heat. Nylon rope cannot
withstand heat so well and will begin to degrade at 210°C.
Polyester, however, has a high melting point of 260°C, so is
typically a better choice in extreme temperatures.
