UV Stabilized High Abrasion Resistance Rot Resistant 3-Strand Polypropylene Rope for Commercial and Aquaculture Fishing

Product: 3-Strand Twisted Polypropylene Monofilament Rope

Description:
This rope is manufactured from 100% polypropylene (PP) monofilament fibers, twisted into a classic 3-strand construction. This design combines the inherent beneficial properties of polypropylene with a rope structure known for its balance of strength, flexibility, and ease of handling.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: 100% Polypropylene (PP) Monofilament

• Construction: 3-Strand (Twisted)

• UV Stabilized: (Typically available as a standard or optional feature to enhance longevity against sun exposure).

• Color: Typically available in high-visibility colors like Fluorescent Orange, Yellow, or White for easy identification in the water.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Excellent Buoyancy: Polypropylene is lighter than water, making this rope naturally buoyant. It is perfect for surface applications like headline floats for fishing nets, longlines, marker buoys, and lobster pot lines, where a sinking rope would be a disadvantage.

• Zero Water Absorption: Unlike natural fibers or some other synthetics, polypropylene does not absorb water. This means the rope does not become heavier, weaker, or rot when submerged, ensuring consistent performance and a longer service life.

• High Abrasion Resistance: The monofilament construction provides a smooth, hard surface that offers superior resistance to wear and tear from rocks, boat decks, and other abrasive surfaces common in fishing operations.

• Rot, Mildew, and Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to degradation from saltwater, chemicals, oils, and biological factors like mildew and rot. This ensures durability and reliability in harsh marine conditions.

• Cost-Effective: Polypropylene rope offers a very favorable balance of performance and cost, providing a durable and practical solution without a high price tag.

• 3-Strand Construction: The traditional twisted design is strong, easy to splice, and remains flexible even in cold conditions. It handles well and is familiar to fishermen worldwide.

Common Fishery Applications:

• Fishing Nets: Head ropes (float lines) and buoy lines.

• Longlining: Mainline and buoy lines for surface longlines.

• Aquaculture: Mooring lines, cage tie-downs, and general utility lines on fish farms.

• Pot/Trap Fishing: Lines for lobster, crab, and fish traps.

• General Marine Use: Dock lines, tow lines, and other general purpose uses on fishing vessels

• Standard Packaging: The rope is neatly coiled and wrapped in a plastic film to keep it clean and tangle-free. Multiple coils are then packed in a strong carton or woven bag.
• Shipping Options: We can ship via sea, air, or express (DHL, FedEx, TNT, UPS) based on your needs and order quantity.
