Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin. Bacteria get into the skin through a cut, scrape, or other wound. Cellulitis can also affect the deeper layers of connective tissue beneath your skin and, in severe cases, spread to your lymph nodes.
Comparing the Major Synthetic Rope Materials. When deciding what rope best suits your need, it is often a matter of compromise. There are 5 major synthetic ropes in use for boat and marine applications. Polypropylene, Polyester, Nylon, UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and Aramids (KevlarÂ®, TechnoraÂ®, VectranÂ®, etc). Each has outstanding virtues and each has faults.
Of the synthetic fibers it is the cheapest. It is strong for itâs weight, but it is not very UV, heat, or abrasion resistant. For this reason, it is generally not a good choice for long term applications where the rope would be exposed to sun or abrasion (e.g. a dock line).Polypropyleneâs only redeeming characteristic other than itâs excellent price is that it floats. In some applications (e.g. rescue line) this is an important feature.ylon is the best choice of rope for many applications. This includes marine, general purpose, and towing. It is very strong, but perhaps more importantly highly UV and abrasion resistant, so it lasts a long time. The most commonly available nylon ropes are white and may be marketed as âdock linesâ or âanchor linesâ.
