Polysteel Rope - Specifications

Made from 800 denier polypropylene, this is the strongest and lightest of all our ropes. It has very good shock load absorption ability. Polysteel rope floats in water, and retains 100% strength when wet. Available in UV stabilized quality (black gives best resistance). Polysteel rope is supplied in 200 meter coils, by the kilogram or as specified.
