POLYPROPYLENE ROPE |
| |
| Polypropylene
Ropes are manufactured from extruded Polypropylene
Film resulting in strong highly abrasion resistant
ropes.
Polypropylene Ropes
are produced from extruded film, and cover a range of
standard 3-strand laid and eight-strand plaited
(square) ropes.
Polypropylene Ropes
are tough, extremely strong and easy to work and knot.
They are UV stabilised with excellent weathering
properties and have a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Polypropylene Ropes
are economical general purpose ropes suitable for a
wide range of industrial applications, particularly
marine, construction, mining, trucking, rural,
commercial, fishing, petroleum and domestic areas. |

Strength: Polypropylene Ropes are
extremely strong. They are unaffected by water
and so retain the same high strength whether
wet or dry.
Elongation: At breaking load,
Polypropylene Ropes elongate by 25-30%, and at
25% of breaking load by 13-16%. Elongation
characteristics depend upon rope size and
construction.
Energy Absorption: Polypropylene Ropes can
absorb repeated shock loads of relatively high
orders. Their extensibility and elasticity are
better than Sisal and Manila Ropes; but not as
good as Nylon Ropes because Polypropylene has
a lower energy absorption capacity than Nylon.
Abrasion Resistance: Polypropylene Ropes
have excellent abrasion characteristics and
they resist external wear well.
Specific Gravity: The specific gravity of
Polypropylene is 0.91. Polypropylene Ropes
float in water.
Resistance to Chemicals: Poly-propylene
Ropes are resistant to acids and alkalis, most
common solvents and oxidising agents.
Sensitivity: Polypropylene Ropes are
sensitive to bleaching agents (Sodium
Hypo-chlorite), cleaning agents and solvents (Xylene,
Toluene, Trichloroethylene). Although poly-
propylene is sensitive to UV radiation
(sunlight), Polypropylene Ropes are stabilised
to combat the harmful effects of harsh
Australian climatic conditions.
Reaction to Flame: Polypropylene Ropes
ignite when in contact with flame and support
combustion.
Reaction to Water: Polypropylene Ropes do
not absorb water and are not effected by
water.
Storage: Polypropylene Ropes should be
stored in a cool, well ventilated dry store,
never in closed containers. Polypropylene
Ropes should be stacked on wooden gradings or
racks, or special coil pegson stands. They
should not be exposed to the weather or direct
sunlight.
When storing Polypropylene ropes, ensure that
they are stored away from: racks of heavy
objects whose inadvertent fall may result in
damage to the rope; from chemicals and other
agents; containers containing liquids which
may leak; and sources of sparks. Polypropylene
Ropes should not be stored under conditions of
high heat or excessively drying atmospheres.
Polypropylene Ropes should never be dried in
front of a fire or stored near a stove or
other sources of heat. |
