The best polypropylene ropes you can buy – Ropes Direct

Ropes have been used since prehistoric times for a wide variety of activities, Leonardo da Vinci even drew up plans for a rope making machine – unfortunately though, the machine was never built.

But even one of the world’s greatest visionaries couldn’t have predicted the near dominance in the market that synthetic fibre rope – like polypropylene ropes – would have over the more natural fibres like sisal.

And this market dominance that polypropylene ropes enjoy isn’t just a coincidence; they’re widely regarded as one of the most hard wearing and resilient ropes around. When it comes to ropes, strength is of the utmost importance. Rock climbers put their lives in the hands of their polypropylene ropes because they know that they’ll not let them down, so to speak.

Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer, and the three strand split polypropylene ropes are one of the most versatile ropes available on the market, lightweight, polypropylene ropes even float in water and cost less than most other available synthetic fibres.

Both tough and flexible with a good resistance to fatigue, polypropylene ropes are available in a number of different construction styles.

Some of the polypropylene ropes available from Ropes Direct include the 10mm Orange Rope, the 10 x 220m coil is hard wearing and rot proof, suitable for all general purposes. The 6mm White Yacht Rope is another polypropylene rope that stretches very little, ideal for all boating purposes, used as a mooring line or an anchor line.
