Wellington G1016S0200 Solid Braid Nylon Rope, 1/4-Inch by 200-Foot, White
This 1/4-inch by 200-foot solid braid Nylon Rope Reel is the strongest synthetic fiber in general use. Nylon is the strongest of all ropes, and when stretched, has a "memory" for returning to its original length. It has excellent shock absorbing elasticity. For this reason it is best for absorbing shock loads as is the case when lifting or towing. Nylon lasts four to five times longer than natural fibers because it is resistant to rot, abrasion, mildew, petroleum products, and most chemicals. It is a strong, soft, lightweight cord. Like manila, nylon has good resistance to ultraviolet deterioration from sunlight (referred to as "UV stability"). The solid braid construction is very firm, round and tightly woven with a special lock-stitch construction which prevents unraveling when cut or torn. solid braided rope stays round, and stands up especially well to chafing of blocks and pulleys. It doesn't rotate under load. The solid braid construction cannot be spliced.
