With its excellent water resistant and UV stabilised properties, Polypropylene rope is ideal for marine applications. The rope can be used for securing cargo nets or buoys to the side of the boat, or as rope ladders and gangway hand rails.
Roofing and Construction
Polypropylene rope is strong and lightweight. It is often used to secure tarpaulins that cover and protect objects or structures on building sites, roofing, farm yards and delivery vehicles.
