FAQs
What is the maximum weight this rope can hold?

How should I clean the rope?
Clean the rope with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Can this rope be used for lifting heavy objects?
While the rope has a high load capacity, it is designed for general securing and utility purposes. For critical lifting applications, specialized lifting equipment and ropes should be used.
How can I prevent the ends from fraying after cutting?
After cutting the rope to your desired length, carefully melt and seal the ends using a flame (like from a lighter). Be cautious not to overheat the material.

Troubleshooting
Rope appears to be fraying at the ends
If the rope was cut, ensure the ends were properly sealed with a flame to prevent further fraying. If fraying occurs during use, inspect for excessive friction or abrasion points and address them.
Reduced load-bearing capacity observed
Inspect the rope for any signs of damage, wear, or prolonged exposure to UV light or chemicals. If damage is found, cease using the rope and replace it.
Rope feels stiff or less flexible than before
This could be due to prolonged exposure to elements or improper storage. Ensure the rope is clean and dry. Avoid extreme temperatures during use and storage.
