Nylon is the strongest synthetic material for commonly used DIY ropes. Nylon is best used for absorbing shock loads in applications such as towing because its elasticity allows it to return very close to its original length after being stretched. Nylon can last several times longer than natural fiber ropes because it is resistant to rotting, oil, and most common chemicals. Nylon does not float and it will absorb water, which causes it to shrink slightly and to lose some of its strength (10-15%). Nylon is ideal for use as bow-to-stern towing, safety lines, tow ropes, tie-downs and anchor lines.

  • Nylon is the strongest synthetic material for commonly used DIY rope.
  • Nylon has significant elasticity and is best used for absorbing shock loads such as experienced when towing.
  • Nylon rope absorbs the shock, stretches, and then returns close to its original length once the load has been removed.
  • Nylon has good abrasion resistance, does not float, and will absorb water when wet.
  • When nylon is wet it will shrink slightly and lose 10% to 15% of its strength.
  • Nylon is ideal for use as a tow rope, anchor line, dock line, safety lines, and tie-downs.
