I use a forklift at work to suspend and place heavy objects with these nylon cords/ropes...Where does it get it strength???...Thanks for the detail...Tom Science 4

I understand that the basis for the strength of any material, such as your nylon rope, depends on the strength of the electrical bond, or attraction, between the various atoms that make up the nylon molecules.
If the attraction of the electrons to their particular atoms and molecules is sufficiently strong, it would take a greater force to pull the strands apart.
If the electron's attraction to an atom's nucleus is not that strong, the material, whatever it maybe, would come apart more easily.
Please understand, this is just a quick answer and I have done no research to confirm what I've presented. A chemical engineer can better describe the property of strength in nylon.

Because Chuck Norris invented it, and nothing is stronger than him lol. Actually the structure and makup that nylon is composed of has incredibly strong bonds which causes it to keep its structure under incredible stress.

Hi. Nylon is inherently strong (compared to hemp rope) and having many fibers makes it even stronger.

It is due to tensile strength. Nylon has a higher tensile strength than steel.
