Polypropylene 8-Strand Hollow Braid rope features a diamond braid construction with a hollow center. 8-strand polypro ropes have low strength for general industrial, commercial and consumer use, have medium to high stretch, they are balanced constructions and they float in water. They can weaken in strength and increase in stretch with rising temperatures and long exposure under UV radiation (sunlight). Polypro hollow braid rope is commonly used for light duty pulling, swimming pool lane markers and tree guy lines.
Features
- Floats in water, very easy to handle and splice
- Available colors in yellow, black, white and green

Compliance to the above specifications is based upon testing according to the Cordage Institute Standard Testing Methods for Fiber Rope and/or ASTM D-4268 Standard Methods of Testing Fiber Ropes.
Weights: Are average and may vary +/- 5%.
Tensile strengths: Are approximate average for new, unused ropes. To estimate the minimum tensile strength of a new rope, reduce the approximate average by 15% (Cordage Institute defines minimum tensile strength as two standard deviations below the average tensile strength of the rope).
