iwalters 1 #1 Posted May 1, 2020 I’m wondering if residue from coconut oil is harmful to a parachute? I was packing my main and my girlfriend left out her coconut oil and it leaked. Didn’t see the spot until my hand slipped in it. I didn’t find any on my parachute but I’m wondering how damaging it would be. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The things you want to watch out for are those that are on the extreme ends of the ph scale. Specifically, acids. Acid is particularly damaging to nylon. If you're really worried you can look up the ingredients and compare it to a chemical compatibility chart. There are several online that test a wide range of substances against nylon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
