What is Polypropylene Rope?
As a part of the much larger plastic rope family, our polypropylene is one of the most widely used resins for making plastic rope. Usually defined as a length of synthetic fibers, twisted or braided together for pulling and connecting objects, polypropylene rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, line, string, or twine. Polypropylene is a synthetic polymer of propylene monomers. Named for its versatility, polypropylene is a lightweight thermoplastic that is polymerized from propylene and has a methyl group branching off of every other carbon along its molecular backbone. Because the most common form of polypropylene has the methyl groups all on one side of the carbon backbone, polypropylene molecules tend to be highly aligned and compact, giving this thermoplastic the properties of durability and chemical resistance. This polyolefin is considered the most versatile of the plastic family which explains its continuing and rapid increase in use. Benefits and Properti
