This premium general-purpose monofilament rope is strong, lightweight, spliceable, and used extensively for most rope requirements. This highly visible bright yellow rope makes it an excellent choice for roping off construction site areas. This economical synthetic rope has a smooth surface, making it easier to handle than natural fiber ropes. Polypropylene resists bending and flexing, but continued wear causes roughness and increased knot-holding ability. An excellent insulator, polypropylene is used by utility companies for low dielectric loss and may be used safely around "hot" wires. It is not recommended when heat is a factor because it tends to stick and fuse. Although an ultraviolet inhibitor (UV) is added during the extrusion process, this rope will lose strength depending upon the amount of ultraviolet radiation it is exposed to. This rope floats and is unaffected by rot, mildew, oil, gasoline, water, and most chemicals. Polypropylene has a low flammability but will still burn very slowly.
