Polypropylene Film Ropes - 5 Standard Laid
This product is a five standard (STD) laid rope made from durable polypropylene (PP) film. Unlike traditional spun fiber ropes, film rope is constructed from extruded polypropylene ribbons, offering a lighter weight and high breaking strength for its size. Polypropylene is inherently resistant to moisture, rot, and chemicals, making this rope suitable for many general-purpose applications. It is available in clean white, or white with an identifying fleck.
