The thermal properties of polyester ropes are as follows:
- Critical temperature: ± 180°C
- Melting temperature: ± 260°C
- Smell of hot oil with flame, black smoke
- Flame-retardant
- Recommended diameter: 3, 4 or 5 mm, depending on the desired look. Please note that only our 3 mm x 50 m spool fits through the center of an Acapulco chair.
