These short rolls were picked up in a mil spec "grab bag." They are nylon tape or strap, not tubular nylon with tensile strength values appropriate for Low and Mid-Power applications. They work well as harnesses as, given their lower thickness, they can fit into some tight places, e.g., epoxied to side of MMT. Another common application for these tapes is as canopy edge and attach point reinforcement for higher-performance parachutes. These are available on a first come, first serve basis. Price for each is $0 but winner will pay shipping to their destination. PM your interest making sure to specify what lot(s) you want.

  1. 1" wide, 4462-type, Red in color, 525 lbs tensile strength, 138 feet, weight 11 oz. [SOLD]
  2. 1" wide, 7440-type, Sage Green in color, 900 lbs tensile strength, 234 feet w/two splices, weight 1.9 lbs. [SOLD]
  3. 1-1/2" wide, 4462-type, Gray in color, 850 lbs tensile strength, 180 feet total in two pieces, weight 1.4 lbs. [SPF]

Received my (lot #3) nylon tape today. Very nice stuff. Will be great for mid-power rockets with cardboard air frames. The 1.5" width is zipper resistant.
