As a multipurpose rope, ideal for both commercial and domestic use, polypropylene has many benefits. The first and probably most recognised benefit to polypropylene is its strength. The cheap rope has an approximate breaking strain of 1570kg. Its strength stems from its three-strand make-up. Polypropylene rope is also impressively resistant to heat and friction as it has a higher melting point than most common polymers. Probably most relevant for the marine industry, this cheap rope is also rot-proof. Unlike materials such as hemp rope, polypropylene can be continually soaked without incurring any damage. Another advantage, particularly within the boating industry, is that polypropylene rope floats!
