Nylon is strong and durable and offers excellent resistance to mildew and mold, and most acids, alkalis, marine growth, gas and oils. Stretchy enough for absorbing shock loads, but returns to its original length when not under load. The twisted construction is easy to splice so adding components is quick and simple. A good choice when you need both strength and stretch, some popular uses for twisted nylon rope include anchor lines, sling rope, net rope, tie down rope, tow rope, and safety line rope.
