Lenght: 100 m

€44.90

Double-braid polypropylene braid, rot-proof, UV-treated, resistant to traction, floating, soft and flexible. Shiny appearance.

This braid is rot-proof and UV-treated, meaning it does not mold and resists prolonged exposure to sunlight. It can therefore be used permanently outdoors.

Made in France or in the EU depending on the references.

What is the core of a braid?

The core of a braid is the cord inside the sheath that allows it to be round and reinforced. Independent from the outer sheath, it can be removed manually. The core can be braided or parallel.

Parallel core: core made of aligned yarns. Not spliceable.
Braided core: core made of braided yarns. A braid made with a braided core can be referred to as a “double braid”. Can be spliced.
A braid without a core is referred to as “hollow”.

Anti UV treatment

To stay intact in the face of prolonged exposure to the sun, our synthetics are treated to resist UV.

Better resistance to weather

Rain, snow, sea water... Our synthetic ropes are designed to last in the face of moisture and corrosion.

Longer life

The synthetic rope is suitable for long-term decoration of your exterior. You can choose the synthetic hemp rope for a natural effect guaranteed.

Polypropylene is the most economical and lightweight fibre. It has an excellent quality/price ratio for uses that do not require a rope with a high performance mechanical strength.

Polypropylene is floating and hydrophobic. It can be in permanent contact with water without degrading itself. It is resistant to moisture.

Density: 0.91

Polypropylene fiber has good UV resistance but it is still inferior to polyester and nylon.

For a better outdoor life, make sure that your polypropylene rope is treated against UV. All our polypropylene ropes are.

Polypropylene is resistant to mites, bacteria, strong acids and alkalis and ordinary solvents. It is sensitive to aromatic compounds. It dissolves in chlorinated solvents at high temperatures.

Historically, "halyard" is the maritime name for a braided rope generally used to hoist a barge, horn or sail.

A pre-stretched cord has undergone a factory pre-stretch process to greatly limit its elongation during use.

Thermofixing is a pre-stretch performed at 100°C to improve compaction and stabilization of the fibers. This process improves the mechanical properties and life of a rope. It is reserved for high-end ropes for demanding uses.
