Overview
POLYPROPYLENE ROPE This monofilament line is the most widely used of the synthetics today. It is by far the most economical. Polypropylene incorporates many of the advantageous qualities of all other synthetics and natural fiber ropes. It possesses excellent strength characteristics, remarkable durability and handling ease. However, it is not recommended for use on bitts and capstans where heat is a factor because it will tend to stick and fuse. This rope has outstanding chemical resistance and dielectric properties. Its working elasticity lies between Nylon and Manila. It will not rot, mildew or shrink and it floats. Polypropylene is available in a full range of sizes. Stock rope is yellow in color.
