Very likely POLYPROPYLENE which is used in straps, slings and ropes, for towing, tie down and even lifting purposes, but NOT for vehicle recovery since it's virtually NO stretch!........................... I'd bet lunch that it wasn't a snatch strap at all but the more rigid and non-elastic material used for slings and such.

NYLON is the way to go: with its ability to stretch up to 25% under tension and then retract it would free any stuck rig, provided it is of adecuate rating. (suggest 6"x30' = 60.000lbs breaking strenght, to always carry in your Deuce!)
Stretch and elasticity of a nylon strap coupled with the forward momentum of the towing vehicle eliminates the dangerous jerk, thereby decreasing damage to both vehicle tow points.
