FAQs
What is the maximum weight this rope can hold?
The rope has a maximum load capacity of 100 kg. It is recommended to use it well within this limit for safety and longevity.
Can this rope be used for climbing or safety applications?
No, this rope is designed for general use and securing. It is not certified or suitable for climbing, rappelling, or any safety-critical applications.
How should I store the rope?
Store the rope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals, to prevent degradation.
Is the rope suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, polypropylene is resistant to rot and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to UV rays may degrade the material over time.
How do I clean the rope?
You can clean the rope with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
What is the diameter of the rope?
The product information does not specify the exact diameter, but it is designed for general-purpose use where knotting ability is important.
Can I join two lengths of this rope together?
Yes, you can tie two lengths together using a secure knot. Ensure the knot is appropriate for the load you intend to apply.
Troubleshooting
Rope is difficult to untie after tightening
Polypropylene can sometimes bind. Try to loosen the knot by wiggling it or using a knot-untying tool. Ensure knots are not excessively over-tightened.
Rope appears frayed or damaged
Immediately discontinue use if significant fraying, cuts, or wear are visible. Replace the rope to ensure safety and reliability.
Rope is stiff and hard to handle
This can happen in cold temperatures. Try warming the rope slightly by letting it sit in a warmer environment. Avoid forcing stiff rope, as this can cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This rope requires no specific setup. Simply uncoil it from its packaging and use as needed. For cutting, use a sharp knife or scissors. To prevent fraying after cutting, you can lightly melt the ends with a flame (e.g., from a lighter), being careful not to scorch the rope.
Compatibility: This rope is compatible with most standard knots and securing methods. It can be used with carabiners, eye bolts, and other general hardware suitable for ropes of its diameter and strength.
Care: Store the rope in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, to prolong its lifespan. Clean the rope with mild soap and cool water if it becomes dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Inspect the rope regularly for signs of wear, such as fraying or cuts, before each use.
