FAQs
What is the primary material of this rope?
The rope is made from polypropylene, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to moisture and abrasion.
What is the maximum weight this rope can hold?
The rope has a maximum load capacity of 600 kg.
Is this rope suitable for climbing or safety applications?
No, this rope is designed for general use and securing loads. It is not rated or recommended for climbing, rappelling, or any safety-critical lifting applications.
How should I store the rope to ensure its longevity?
Store the rope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent degradation.
Can this rope be used in wet conditions?
Yes, polypropylene is highly resistant to water, rot, and mildew, making it suitable for use in damp environments.
What does 'twisted rope' mean?
It refers to the construction method where multiple strands of polypropylene are twisted together to form the rope, providing strength and stability.
Will the green color fade over time?
The color may fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (UV rays). For best color retention, store away from sunlight when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Rope feels stiff or difficult to knot
This can happen after prolonged storage or exposure to moisture. Gently flex the rope by hand to make it more pliable. Ensure it is completely dry before storing again.
Knot is slipping
Ensure you are using appropriate knots for polypropylene rope. For slippery materials, consider using a stopper knot or a constrictor knot for extra security.
Rope appears faded or brittle
This is likely due to UV exposure. Reduce direct sunlight during use and storage. For applications requiring long-term outdoor use, consider a UV-resistant alternative.
Minor fraying at the ends
You can prevent further fraying by melting the ends slightly with a lighter or knife (use extreme caution and appropriate safety measures) or by wrapping the ends with tape.

Care Instructions:
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation.
- Cleaning: If the rope becomes dirty, it can be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
