Nylon rope has excellent fracture resistance among regular synthetic fiber ropes and
widely for mooring and tail rope of large ships because it has satisfactory fracture
resistance, energy absorption because of its stretching properties
, good for shock intensity and has good restoration ability even after being used many times.
But when the rope absorbs moisture, caution is necessary because of contraction,
It can become, hard to handle by becoming ripened and fracture resistance becomes
about 15% lower than in dry conditions. |
