Nylon Anchor Rode Supplier - Anchor Chains

Nylon anchor rode is a durable, elastic line used to connect the anchor to the boat, absorbing shock loads effectively.

Anchor chains are heavy, corrosion-resistant metal links that provide weight and abrasion resistance for secure anchoring.

Combining nylon rode with chain improves performance by balancing strength, flexibility, and weight distribution.

Nylon Anchor Rode:

- Size: Typically 1/2" to 1" diameter (varies by vessel size)

- Material: High-tenacity nylon (polyamide)

- Grade: Marine-grade, UV-resistant

- Viscosity: N/A (solid fiber)

- Buoyancy: Sinks when wet but retains elasticity

- Breaking Strength: 8,000 to 30,000 lbs (depending on diameter)

- Elongation: 15-30% under load (shock-absorbing)

Anchor Chains:

- Size: 1/4" to 1" (or larger for commercial vessels)

- Material: High-tensile steel (galvanized or stainless)

- Grade: BBB, G3, G4, or G7 (varies by strength)

- Viscosity: N/A (solid metal)

- Buoyancy: Negligible (sinks in water)

- Breaking Strength: 2,000 to 100,000+ lbs (grade-dependent)

- Link Type: Studlink or studless (for weight and strength)
