Cordage nylon (polyamide)

Fiche produit

Cordage nylon (polyamide)

Polyamide is the strongest of the conventional mooring fibres and stretches the most, which lets it absorb shock loads in towing and exposed berths. That same elasticity produces dangerous snapback if a line parts, so nylon lines must be inspected, retired and handled with strict snapback discipline.

Fibre
Polyamide PA6 / PA66

3-strand, 8-strand, 12-strand
Diameter range
10 mm - 128 mm
Elongation at break
approx. 20 - 30 %

1.14 - sinks
Wet strength
approx. 10 - 15 % loss when wet

Applications

  • Towing springs
  • Tug work lines
  • Exposed berth mooring
