Polypropylene splitfilm

The perfect rope for day-to-day use. In comparison with other synthetic ropes polypropylene is the cheapest choice. Polypropylene rope is rot-proof and absorbs little water. The rope feels hard but becomes no harder in use. Polypropylene rope is available in different colours (the colours are of no influence on the quality).
