Whether for decorating interior of the home or industrial purposes, ropes are one of the most versatile products having varied functionalities. Ropes and knots are considered to be an effective ancient technology developed by mankind, predating the ax, wheel and even fire. Since then, ropes are being used in each sphere of our life. You can hardly ignore their usefulness, versatility and efficacy. Ropes are simply indispensible. And, as it comes to ropes, the most common general purpose ropes are Polypropylene Ropes aka PP ropes. Besides polyester and nylon, PP ropes are equally used owing to their lightweight, affordable price, quality and functionality.
Let's find out some of the key reasons behind widespread popularity of PP ropes.
Polypropylene is a rot-proof material. And thus it is often used for long-term storage purpose including outdoor applications, boating and in fishery industry. Even if the rope is soaked in water for a longer period of time, it won't rot unlike hemp rope. PP doesn't allow bacterial growth and thus it doesn't rot. It can maintain its actual capability, effectiveness and strength for longer than other rope types even after being soaked in water. PP rope can withstand extreme weather conditions.
PP ropes are very strong. They are best suited for pulleys and winches, boating and, fastening and securing. Owing to the strong material and robust construction, the rope is strong enough and that makes it perfect for fulfilling different functions, as mentioned.
Though this might not seem to be a great advantage, boating rope should float well in order to last longer. Since ropes can be retrieved easily from the water surface, PP Ropes are often and widely accepted due to floatability feature. Also, the wide variety of colours enhances visibility even in low-light condition, against dark water backdrop and harsh weather condition. In a nutshell, PP ropes improve visibility in any given condition.
The ropes made from polypropylene, a sturdy polymer resistant to glues and various solvents, are also sturdy for that same reason. Such ropes are woven from 3-strand yarn for more durability and increased strength. Polypropylene is also known for its higher melting point in comparison to other common polymers and this property helps increasing its resistance capacity to friction and heat. Polypropylene doesn't splinter as well and that makes it easy to use while enhancing its life even if it is knotted and untied over and again.
The diameter of the ropes influences its properties including load capacity and strength. It also influences the ease of knotting and storing it. PP ropes are available in a wide range of diameters ranging between 4 mm and 16 mm. And they are usually sold on 220 m coils. However, they can also be cut to any length as per the requirements of the users.
These are a few of many advantages that make PP ropes an adaptable and versatile solution.
These products are better than the conventional mono ropes. The coil lengths vary from 110 metres to 330 metres and are available in 3 strands. To avail ropes of longer lengths, feel free to contact Crown Industries anytime.
