FAQs

What is the primary advantage of polypropylene rope?

Polypropylene rope is lightweight, floats on water, and is resistant to rot, mildew, chemicals, and UV rays, making it highly versatile and durable.

Can this rope be used for lifting heavy objects?

This rope is designed for general utility purposes. It is not rated for lifting or safety-critical applications. Always use ropes specifically designed and rated for lifting.

How does this rope handle UV exposure?

The rope is UV stabilized, which significantly increases its resistance to degradation from sunlight, allowing for extended outdoor use.

Is the rope waterproof?

Yes, polypropylene is inherently waterproof and does not absorb water, maintaining its strength and integrity even when wet.

How should I store the rope to maintain its quality?

Store the rope on its reel in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Ensure it is clean and dry before storage.

What makes this rope 'hardwearing'?

Its hardwearing nature comes from its resistance to abrasion, chemicals, UV light, and water, allowing it to withstand demanding conditions and frequent use without significant degradation.

Does the blue color affect the rope's performance?

The blue color is a dye. While prolonged, intense UV exposure might eventually cause some fading of the color, the structural integrity and strength of the UV-stabilized polypropylene remain largely unaffected.

Troubleshooting

Rope is difficult to cut cleanly

Use a sharp, dedicated rope cutting tool or a hot knife for a clean, sealed end. A standard knife may fray the ends.

Rope feels stiff after prolonged storage

Unspool a length of rope and allow it to acclimatize to room temperature for a few hours. Flexing the rope can also help restore its pliability.

Knot slips under tension

Ensure you are using a knot appropriate for polypropylene rope. This material holds knots well, but some knot types are more secure than others. Try a different knot or double-check the tying technique.

Rope seems weaker than expected

Verify that the rope is indeed the EVERLASTO Blue Polypropylene Rope and not a different material. Check for any signs of significant wear, UV damage, or chemical exposure that could have compromised its strength.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability and resistance to environmental factors (UV, water, chemicals)
  • Excellent versatility for a broad spectrum of uses
  • Convenient reel format for storage and dispensing
  • Easy to knot and handle securely
  • Trusted brand with a long history of quality manufacturing

Cons

  • Specific strength ratings not detailed in product description, requiring user verification for critical applications.
  • Polypropylene can be susceptible to abrasion over time.
  • While pliable, it may stiffen in very cold temperatures compared to other natural fibers.
  • Not designed for lifting or safety-critical applications without proper load rating verification.
  • The blue color may fade over extended UV exposure, although the rope itself remains strong.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The rope comes ready on a 100m trade reel. To use, simply pull the desired length from the reel. For tidiness, you can cut the rope to size or rewind any unused portion back onto the reel. Ensure the reel is stored upright to prevent the rope from unraveling.

Compatibility:

This rope is compatible with most standard knots. It can be used with various hardware such as eyelets, carabiners, or cleat hitches. Its chemical resistance means it can be used near common industrial or cleaning agents without degradation.

Care:

  • Inspect the rope regularly for signs of wear, abrasion, or damage.
  • Clean the rope with mild soap and cool water if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct contact with solvents.
  • Store the reel in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to maximize its lifespan.
