FAQs
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this rope?
The Safe Working Load for this 8mm rope is 100kg.
What is the Break Strength of this rope?
The Break Strength of this rope is 600kg.
Can this rope be used for lifting heavy objects?
This rope is designed for general purpose use with a Safe Working Load of 100kg. For lifting heavy objects, always use equipment specifically rated and designed for that purpose.
Is this rope suitable for saltwater environments?
Yes, this rope is suitable for marine use, including saltwater environments, as it floats and is resistant to rot and mildew.
How should I store the rope when not in use?
Store the rope in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It can be stored wet, but air drying it first is recommended for best practice.
Will the blue color fade in the sun?
The rope is UV stabilized, which helps to resist degradation and fading from sunlight exposure, but prolonged intense UV exposure may still cause some gradual fading over time.
Can I use this rope for abrasive applications?
While durable, polypropylene can be susceptible to abrasion over time. For highly abrasive tasks, consider using a rope with an abrasion-resistant sheath or protective measures.
Troubleshooting
Rope fraying at the ends
Apply heat from a lighter or flame to the cut end to melt and seal the polypropylene fibers. Ensure this is done in a well-ventilated area.
Knots are difficult to untie
Polypropylene holds knots very well. Try to use a simpler knot or one designed for easy release. If a knot is very tight, use a knot-unpicking tool or a pointed object to loosen it.
Reduced strength after prolonged use
Inspect the rope for visible damage like cuts, abrasion, or thinning. If damage is found, retire the rope and replace it. Always stay within the recommended Safe Working Load (100kg).
