Nylon 12 Plait

Nylon (Strand?)

Nylon 12 Plait provides high strength, high elongation and excellent abrasion resistance in a single braid construction. Nylon 12 Plait is easily spliced using a standard tuck splice and is 25% stronger than three strand or 8 plait nylon. Its torque free braided construction provides easy handling and prevents kinks and hockles.

Nylon 12 Plait is available standard with an overlay marine finish.
