Twisted 3 Strand Nylon Rope
Nylon is the strongest of all ropes in common use. When stretched it has a "memory" for returning to its original length. For this reason it is best for absorbing shock loads, as is the case when lifting or towing. Nylon lasts 4-5 times longer than natural fibers because it has good abrasion resistance and is not damaged by oil or most chemicals. Like manila, nylon has good resistance to ultraviolet deterioration from sunlight, referred to as "U.V. stability". • Stretches 40% before breaking
• Resists chemicals and abrasion
• Spliceable
• For docking, anchoring or pulling
• Available in colors
• Packed in spools
• Available to military specifications

Twisted Polypropylene, 3 Strand Rope
Because of its light weight, polypropylene is the only rope which floats. For this reason, it is very popular for pool markers and water sports. Poly is affected by sunlight deterioration, more so than any other synthetic or natural fiber rope, but its life can be extended by storing it away from direct sunlight. Poly begins to weaken and melt at 150°F, the lowest melting point of all synthetic ropes. It is not as strong as nylon or polyester, but 2-3 times stronger than manila. Because poly is less expensive than other fibers, it is the most popular all-purpose rope for the average consumer. Hollow braided poly can be spliced.
• Most economical
• Polypropylene is very light and floatable
• Low stretch
• High resistance to chemicals
• Spliceable
• Available in colors

Twisted Polyester, 3 Strand Rope
Polyester is very close to nylon in strength when a steady force is applied. However, unlike nylon, polyester stretches very little and therefore cannot absorb shock loads as well. It is as equally resistant as nylon to moisture and chemicals, but is superior in resistance to abrasion and sunlight. Polyester is the most popular general purpose rope in the boating industry.
• High resistance to UV rays
• Stays flexible over time, doesn't shrink or harden
• Very low stretch, spliceable
• Resists chemicals and abrasion
• Available in colors
• Packaged in spools
• Available to military specifications

Manila Rope (Natural)Rope
A hard natural fiber, manila is especially resistant to sunlight. It is very popular for public utility construction and repair because it will not melt on contact with hot wires or equipment like synthetics do. It will burn, however, if the temperature is very high or if the rope is in contact with the wires/equipment for an extended period of time. Manila holds knots firmly and stretches very little. It must be stored dry to avoid mildew.
• Low stretch, holds knots well
• Resistant to UV rays
• Does not melt on contact with hot wires
• Absorbs water-—must be stored dry to avoid mildew
• Available in a wide range of lengths and put-ups; coilettes, self dispensing cartons, wrapped coils
• One color only, natural (tan to brown)
