Factory Direct Supply 20-160mm 8 Strand PP Polypropylene Mooring Rope

The Factory Direct Supply 20-160mm 8 Strand PP Polypropylene Mooring Rope is designed for high durability and strength, making it suitable for various marine applications. Here are some key features and details:

 

Key Features

Material: Made from high-quality polypropylene (PP), known for its resistance to abrasion, UV rays, and chemicals.
Strands: The 8-strand construction provides enhanced strength and flexibility compared to traditional 3-strand ropes.
Diameter Options: Available in a range of diameters from 20mm to 160mm, accommodating various mooring needs.
Lightweight: Despite its strength, polypropylene is lightweight, making it easier to handle and deploy.
Floating Properties: The rope floats on water, which is beneficial for marine environments.
Low Water Absorption: It does not absorb water, reducing the risk of degradation and maintaining strength even when wet.

Applications

Mooring Vessels: Ideal for securing boats and ships at docks or during anchoring.
Marine Use: Suitable for various marine applications including fishing, towing, and other watercraft activities.
Industrial Uses: Can also be employed in industrial settings where strong, durable rope is required.

Maintenance Tips
Storage: Keep the rope out of direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
Cleaning: Rinse with fresh water after use in saltwater environments to prevent salt buildup.
Inspection: Regularly inspect for signs of wear or damage, especially in high-stress applications.

Conclusion

This polypropylene mooring rope offers a reliable and strong solution for anyone needing durable mooring lines for marine or industrial use. Its versatility and robust construction make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.

Polypropylene rope (or PP rope) has a density of 0.91 meaning this is a floating rope. This is generally manufactured using monofilament, splitfilm or multifilament fibres. Polypropylene rope is commonly used for fishing and other general marine applications. It comes in a 3 and 4 strand construction and as an 8 strand braided hawser rope. The melting point of polypropylene is 165°C. Technical Specifications – Comes in 200 metre and 220 metre coils. Other lengths available on request subject to quantity. – All colours available (customization on request) – Most common applications: bolt rope, nets, mooring, trawl net, furling line etc. – Melting point: 165°C – Relative density: 0.91 – Floating/Non-Floating: floating. – Elongation at break: 20% – Abrasion resistance: good – Fatigue resistance: good – UV resistance: good – Water absorption: slow – Contraction: low – Splicing: easy depending on torsion of rope
