Look at boatsafe.com. It explains in detail the calculations for different rope types and sizes
caprolactum for nylon 6 and adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine for nylon 6,6
Bases neutralizes the acids therefore helps maintain the tensile strength of fibre.
Nylon was first produced in USA.
Nylon is a polyamide.
Nylon is not an expensive material.
impact resistance high strength
.080" is nominal and 0.095 an option
Since you are comparing the same materials more D equals more strength so 1800D nylon is stronger than 600D
Mainly to make it waterproof. Nylon was many properties such as durability, waterproof and breathability which improves the strength of the product.
A halter fashioned out of rope instead for nylon or leather. Many times it is one or two continous pieces. They usually do not have the strength of a nylon halter.
its bout 15 pounds i guess, not sure though
Nylon melts. Think about the end of a piece of nylon rope, it is better to burn it than to cut it to the length you want. From Wikipedia: Used in carpets and nylon stockings; Melts instead of burning; Used in many military applications; Good specific strength
No, nylon is stronger than cotton because it is synthetic and cotton is natural, meaning that nylon can be manipulated by man at different strength levels in a factory. This can be very useful for certain types of clothing.
Well I mean, Not the thick ones... Of course it really does depend on your strength and the brand
a middle weight (like a 92) has a tensile strength of about 15 lbs.
Nylon is known for its smooth, glossy appearance and inherent strength and durability. It has a versatile, modern look that can range from sporty and functional to sleek and sophisticated. Nylon fabrics are often chosen for their ability to hold vibrant colors and resist wrinkles, making them popular in both fashion and outdoor gear.
It's not possible to say without seeing the fiber in question, because you can make nylon fiber that breaks at two or three pounds load, and fiber that breaks at two or three hundred pounds load.
