Our 3-Strand Spun Nylon is a traditional lead rope which is used as a tack. The 3-Strand Spun Nylon is a traditional lead rope. This fiber rope uses a spun nylon to have the soft feel of cotton coupled with the stretch of a nylon rope. Features: Manufactured with a firm lay to provide the control that can only be found in this traditional-style lead. Characteristics: Colors available: White Lengths available: 600 Material specifications: Sunlight/UV: Very little degradation from sunlight. Can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly. Chemicals: Nylon will degrade with strong oxidizing agents, mineral acids, and 90% formic acid. May discolor when exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide. Polyester has good resistance to most chemicals, except 95% sulfuric acid and strong alkalines at boil. Heat: Nylon melts at 460°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F. Polyester melts at 480°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F. Dielectrics: Good resistance to the passage of electrical current. However, dirt, surface contaminants, water entrapment, and the like can significantly affect dielectric properties. Extreme caution should be exercised any time a rope is in the proximity of live circuits.
