Polypropylene twisted ropes

Polypropylene (monofilament & splt film) ropes are the lightest and most economical ropes that we manufacture. It is an ideal general purpose rope, and is well suited for use in hardware, household, light industrial and marine applications. Polypropylene is resistant to most chemicals, has a low stretch, and will not absorb moisture. In addition, polypropylene rope floats in water.
Polypropylene ropes also available in an 8-plait weave.

POLYPROPYLENE DATASHEET
	Specific Gravity		0.91
	Melting Point		330 Degrees F., not recommend for high heat applications.
	Water Absorbtion		0%
