Full details
This Diall green polypropylene rope is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and general users needing a reliable cord for securing, crafting, or utility tasks. Its primary benefit is its robust strength and durability, offering a maximum load capacity of 800 kg. A potential caveat is its specific length and diameter, which may not suit heavy-duty industrial applications requiring longer or thicker ropes.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight this rope can hold?
The rope has a maximum load capacity of 800 kg.
Is this rope suitable for outdoor use?
It can be used outdoors, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may degrade the material over time. It is resistant to moisture and mildew.
Can I cut this rope to a custom length?
Yes, you can cut the rope to your desired length. It is recommended to seal the cut ends with a flame to prevent fraying.
What is the best way to clean the rope?
Clean with mild soap and cool water, rinse, and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the material of the rope?
The rope is made from polypropylene.
Is this rope suitable for lifting heavy objects?
While strong, this rope is intended for general utility and securing, not for critical lifting operations where safety is paramount. Always respect the 800 kg load limit.
Troubleshooting
Rope is fraying excessively
Inspect for abrasion or damage. If fraying is minor, you can try melting the ends with a flame to seal them. For significant fraying, discontinue use and replace the rope.
Knot is difficult to untie
Polypropylene can become stiff. Try working the knot gently or wetting it slightly with warm water to loosen the fibers.
Rope appears weaker than expected
Ensure the load does not exceed the 800 kg maximum. Check for any nicks, cuts, or UV degradation which can compromise strength.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This rope requires no special setup. It is ready for use directly from the packaging. Its compatibility extends to general-purpose use where a strong, flexible cord is needed. To care for the rope and ensure its longevity:
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Avoid storing near sharp objects.
- Cleaning: If soiled, clean with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
