Nylon vs polypropylene rope
Nylon rope is very stretchy and therefore,used for towing lines and as anchor ropes . Its elasticity makes it ideal for storing energy, but if it breaks that stored energy releases quickly.
Polypropylene floats in water, and will over time degrade under UV. It comes in 3-strand form – except ski/rescue ropes which are braided. The main variation is the elasticity of the material between nylon an polypropylene rope.
