Polyester is the best choice for antenna support rope or any outside application where strength, less stretch, UV and abrasion resistance is important.

• Unlike Nylon, Polyester Rope is less elastic and therefore stretches much less. In fact Nylon Rope will stretch anywhere from 15 – 25% percent at it’s break point. Polyester on the other hand will normally stretch from 5 – 10%, at it's break point.

• Nylon absorbs water and is 10-20% weaker when wet. Polyester is not affected by water and maintains its strength when wet.

• Polyester Rope has better UV resistance, and is more abrasion resistant than nylon.

• Polypropylene cost less but has limited resistance to ultraviolet light and is susceptible to friction.
