Polypropylene Rope

Polypropylene 3-Strand Twist Rope is a light weight, strong and general purpose synthetic rope that is typically easier to handle than rope made from natural fibers. This floating, waterproof rope is resistant to rot, oil, gasoline and most chemicals and is twice as strong as Manila Rope. Polypro is constructed of monofilament fibers that are twisted together, creating a smooth surfaced rope that is easy to splice.

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).
