A specially formulated twisted polypropylene rope that is much stronger, has half the weight, and costs less per foot than manila rope. It is resistant to rot and abrasion and is not damaged by petroleum products, mildew, marine growth or many chemicals.

We would recommend this rope if you are going for a traditional look but don't want the maintenence of Manilla.

Lbs per 100' (2) Min Breaking Load in lbs. (3) Working Load Ratio (4)
1/4" 6 1.15 1,125 5-12 to 1
5/16" 8 1.8 1,710 5-12 to 1
3/8" 12 2.6 2,430 5-12 to 1
  1. Linear Density is considered average weight per 100'. Tolerances: 3/16" - 5/16" diameters inclusive +plus or -minus 10%; 3/8" - 9/16" inclusive +plus or -minus 18%; and 5/8" and up +plus or -minus 5%.
  2. New rope Minimum Breaking Strength is based on data from a number of manufacturers and represents a value of 2 standard deviations below the mean, established by regression analysis.
  3. For critical applications where life or limb of Dynamic Loading is present, use the higher ration division. Example: 10,000 pounds/12 = 833 pounds working load ratio
