Description of Composite Rope
Our composite rope is polypropylene & polyester mixed ropes. They are made of high strength polyester fiber and polypropylene fiber. Know as “floating nylon”, they enjoy good resistance against UV, anti-aging performance, resistance against seawater corrosion and anti-abrasion performance.
Ratio of polypropylene and polyester in the composite rope
In the composite rope, we can adjust the ratio of polypropylene and polyester fiber as your requirement. Usually we make 30% polyester plus 70% polypropylene. The density in this ratio is under 1.0. So the rope can float on the water. Meanwhile, The rope with this ratio will gain the advantage of polyester rope and optimize its weekness. With the superiority of polyester material, the mixed rope will have higher strength and more UV resistance than the normal PP rope. At the same time, with more ratio of polypropylene fiber, the rope is not so heavy and can float on the water.
If you hope to gain different perfomance of rope, you can adjust the ratio of polypropylene and polyester. For example 25% polyester plus 75% polypropylene will have lighter weight of rope and less breaking strength than the rope with 30% polyester fiber.
50% polypropylene plus 50%polyester will get higher strength and heavier rope. It will help you solve special problem the polyester rope can not.
