• Polypropylene ropes
• Features

Polypropylene ropes are the lightest, most economical ropes that we manufacture, and are ideal general-purpose ropes. Applications range from hardware, household and marine usage. Polypropylene is resistant to most chemicals, it has low stretch, it will not absorb moisture, and it floats!

• Specific Gravity - 0.91
• Melting Point - 330 Degrees F., not recommend for high heat applications.
• Water Absorbtion - 0%
• Safe Working Loads - Minimum tensile strength divided by a safety factor of 5-12 for non-critical uses.
• Stretch - 7.5% at maximum working load
• Ultraviolet Protection - Yes




• Specifications

Polypropylene ropes are available in standard coils of 600 and 720 feet, on or off plastic reels, labelled and plastic wrapped. Other lengths available on request, as are specific colours/ patterns. Merchandising displays and retail rope centres also available.

• Nylon ropes
• Features

Nylon ropes are one of the most elastic and strongest rope fibres available. Nylon absorbs a greater shock load than any other fibre, outlasts all natural fibre ropes by a wide margin and withstands dynamic loads that will break other ropes.

Nylon is resistant to most acids, alkalis and organic solvents, including petroleum products. This virtue, allied with its ability to hamper marine plant and animal growth, makes nylon the ideal choice for the petrochemical and marine industries. Nylon will not rot, and thus can be stored in a wet state.

• Specific Gravity - 1.14
• Operating Temperature - Up to 149 degrees celsius
• Water Absorbtion - 6-8%
• Elasticity - 14% at maximum working load
• Safe Working load - The safe working load shall be determined by dividing the Min break strength by a factor from 5-12 for non critical applications
• Ideal for food contact applications.
