Troubleshooting
Rope feels stiff
Polypropylene can stiffen in cold. Allow the rope to warm up to room temperature before use.
Knots are slipping
Ensure you are using appropriate knots for polypropylene rope, especially in wet conditions. Consider using a stopper knot for added security.
Fraying ends
Melt the ends slightly with a lighter or use tape to prevent further fraying. Trim cleanly after securing the end.
Reduced strength after use
Inspect the rope for signs of wear, abrasion, or chemical damage. If significant degradation is observed, replace the rope.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Uncoil the rope carefully to avoid tangles. For best results, store the rope loosely coiled or on a spool. Ensure the rope is securely knotted for its intended application, considering potential slippage in wet conditions.
Compatibility: This rope is compatible with most standard knot-tying techniques. It is suitable for use with various hardware like carabiners, eye bolts, and cleats, provided they are rated for the load.
Care: Keep the rope clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, excessive heat, or prolonged direct sunlight, as these can degrade the polypropylene fibers. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct UV sources to maximize its lifespan.
