DIAMOND BRAID POLYPROPYLENE ROPE - 1/2" x 50 FtLightweight, general-purpose diamond braid polypropylene rope. Polypropylene floats on water, resists rot and mildew, and absorbs almost no moisture, which makes this rope a strong choice for marine, pool, and outdoor utility work where a synthetic alternative to nylon is needed.
- Diameter x length: 1/2" x 50 Ft
- Construction: Diamond braid (visible diagonal weave)
- Material: Polypropylene - lightweight and UV resistant
- Floats on water
- Will not rot, mildew, or absorb water
- Soft and flexible for easy handling and knotting
- Resists most acids and alkalis
Tip: For shock loads (towing, anchoring against current), choose nylon over polypropylene - polypropylene has very little stretch and can snap when impact-loaded. Polypropylene's strength is in static loads where its low weight and floating behavior matter.
Heavy utility line for mooring and dock lines on mid-size craft, heavy cargo lashing, tow lines, hoisting around blocks and tackle, and heavy property tie-down.
