This is a floating rope and is rot proof and unaffected by water, oil, gasoline and most chemicals. Any colors available. It is a very popular multi-use rope. Polypropylene is a very light material with a density of 0.91, this means a rope in this material will float.
Solid braided multifilament polypropylene (MFP) has a somewhat velvety appearance and feel. It is constructed of various bundles of fiber interlocked together in a circular braided pattern. The name solid braided refers to the special lock-stitch construction. This is a floating rope and is rot proof and unaffected by water, oil, gasoline and most chemicals. Any colors available. It is a very popular multi-use rope. Polypropylene is a very light material with a density of 0.91, this means a rope in this material will float. Polypropylene has a moderate resistance to UV and abrasion. The extension to break is similar to polyester but the strength is not as high. Polypropylene has a relatively low melting point at 170 deg C. Polypropylene has a good resistance to a huge range of chemicals. Filament yarns comprised of several single filaments with less than 0.1mm diameter are described as multifilament. Filament is the international description for textile fibres with very long “continuous” lengths during the man-made fibre manufacturing process.
