Nylon Double Braid
Nylon Double BraidNylon Double Braid is the preferred choice for applications requiring high strength with excellent shock absorbing properties. Double Braid has good resistance to abrasion, sunlight and chemicals. Due to its high elongation, nylon is almost always used in applications involving shock loading such as anchor lines and mooring lines.
Nylon Double Braid is delivered standard with an overlay marine finish.
