Diamond braid polypropylene rope for outdoor and water-based applications. The braided construction floats on water and resists rot, mildew, and abrasion -- giving you a durable utility rope for tarps, light tie-downs, marine use, and pool work.

• Diameter: 3/8"
• Length: 100 FT
• Tensile strength: 130 lb
• Material: Polypropylene
• Construction: Diamond braid (smooth, flexible)
• Workhorse size for tie-downs, hauling, pool work, and waterfront use
• Floats on water -- won't sink if dropped overboard
• Rot, mildew, and abrasion resistant; can be stored wet or dry
• Color: Assorted (color choice varies by stock)
• MPN: 300021BGV1

Tip: Tensile is the rope's breaking strength, not a safe load. Industry practice is to size your load at no more than 1/4 to 1/6 of tensile for safety, and knots reduce that further by 30-50%. UV is the main enemy of polypropylene -- sustained sun makes it brittle over a season or two, so store the rope out of direct sunlight and inspect for chalky white shedding before reusing on anything load-bearing.

Polypropylene vs nylon vs manila: Polypropylene is the budget floating rope -- light, water-resistant, but weaker per diameter than nylon and degrades faster in UV. Nylon stretches under load and absorbs shock (better for towing, mooring). Manila is the traditional natural fiber -- heavy, grippy, but rots if stored wet.
