KingCord premium Double Braid Nylon rope is designed to maximize durability and performance in harsh marine conditions. Use this rope for hauling, lifting and towing, especially in marine applications, including for dock lines, anchor lines and fender lines. Nylon has great strength and shock load resistance, handles easily, and resists sunlight better than all other synthetics. Double Braid offers an excellent combination of stretch with excellent shock load reduction. Nylon does not float, so it's the best material for anchor lines.Warning: Do not use for overhead lifting, to support human weight, or for athletic equipment. Do not exceed safe working load detailed on the package. Shock loads (stress, jerk) can reduce working loads by as much as 33%. Never stand in line with ropes under tension; rope (especially nylon) may recoil or snap back. Knots reduce rope strength by 40%. Replace the rope if there are signs of wear, such as broken fibers.
