I used to work in the research laboratories of Eastman Chemical Company.
Eastman made PET, PEN, PETG (glycol-modified PET, used in
microwave/conventional oven dinners), as well as polyethylene and
polypropylene. Some of their liquid crystal polymers would make
excellent, very high-strength rope, but the cost would be rather
prohibitive for most hams. 73, Barry WA4VZQ


I believe that Dacron is actually PET. At least that's what I read at
Wikipedia.
