Wet-Environment No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting

This polypropylene rope floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet. It also resists acid, oil, and gas. Solid braided construction keeps the rope from flattening during use and disperses wear evenly, making it a good choice for high-friction applications, such as passing through pulleys. It knots easily and does not rotate under load.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
