Polypropylene Rope (PP Rope)

Lam Hong carries a wide range of Polypropylene rope (PP rope). PP rope is a general-purpose rope, suitable for various applications. It has a density of 0.91 meaning this is a floating rope. PP rope is generally manufactured using mono-filament, split film or multi-filament fibres.

Commonly used for fishing and other general marine applications, it comes in a 3 and 4 strand construction and as an 8 strand braided hawser rope with a variety of colours. The melting point of polypropylene is 165°C.

Tough Construction

Polypropylene is rot-proof and retains its strength when wet. It is completely immune to rotting, maintaining its strength and capability for much longer than other rope types. If you are looking for a rope to use in marine, outdoors or boating applications, polyester is the best choice.

Polypropylene rope is strong and well-suited to a range of uses, including boating, pulleys and winches, and general-purpose fastening and securing. Thanks to sturdy construction and strong material, this rope is more than strong enough to fulfil these functions.
