Marine polypropylene ropes are lightweight, durable, and resistant to water, making them ideal for marine applications. Rigging systems using these ropes provide reliable strength and flexibility for various nautical tasks. They are commonly used for mooring, towing, and securing loads in wet environments.

Marine Polypropylene Ropes and Rigging Systems Key Specifications:

Size: 4mm to 48mm diameter (varies by application).

Grade: High-tenacity, UV-stabilized polypropylene.

Viscosity: Melt flow index (MFI) typically 2-12 g/10 min (230°C/2.16 kg).

Buoyancy: Floats on water due to low density (0.91 g/cm³).

Material: 100% polypropylene (PP), monofilament or multifilament construction.

Breaking Strength: Ranges from 1,000 kg to 25,000 kg (depends on diameter).

Elongation: 15-25% at break.

UV Resistance: Treated for prolonged sunlight exposure.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and most solvents.

Temperature Range: -40°C to 80°C.

Construction: 3-strand, 8-strand, or braided designs.

Applications: Mooring, towing, fishing, and general marine use.
