Polypropylene rope is the most popular allpurpose rope for the average consumer.It is economically priced and has a wide range of functionality.It is highly flexible and has minimum stretch. Polypropylene has great loading resistance, and is about twice as strong as Manila.
Polyester rope is very close to nylon in strength when a steady force is applied. However, polyester stretches very little and therefore cannot absorb shock loads as well. It is also as equally resistant to moisture and chemicals as nylon, but is superior in resistance to abrasion and sunlight. Polyester rope is the most popular general purpose rope in the boating industry.
