Which dope is known for its compatibility with nylon fabric?

The correct answer is butyrate dope, which is specifically formulated to be compatible with nylon fabric used in aircraft covering. Butyrate dope is designed to enhance the durability and flexibility of the fabric while providing a suitable adhesive bond. Its formulation helps in retaining the nylon's strength and is less likely to degrade or react adversely with the nylon compared to other types of dope.

Nitrate dope, while historically used for fabric covering, is not ideal for nylon as it can cause the fabric to deteriorate over time. Silicone and epoxy dopes exhibit properties that do not align well with nylon, often leading to issues with adhesion or compatibility. Therefore, butyrate dope is the preferred choice for ensuring that nylon fabric maintains its performance characteristics without suffering from chemical interactions that could undermine its integrity.
