LIROS White 3 Strand Multifilament Polypropylene

LIROS 3 Strand White Polypropylene is an economical, lightweight, pliable, floating mooring and general-purpose line with a kind-to-the-hands finish and feel, a far cry from the hard, wiry, blue monofilament variety or the rough and hairy, white staple version.

Polypropylene's 'Floating' capability may be beneficial in some mooring situations, e.g. linking lines between buoys or trots, which can be easily captured by a boat hook from on deck.

To prevent kinks and twists, a traditional 3-strand spiral lay rope requires a tried-and-tested 'roll of the thumb' for each coil as the rope is hanked.

Jimmy Green Polypropylene Specification Advisory

LIROS Multifilament Polypropylene is subjected to a thorough UV stabilising process during rope production to enhance resistance to ultraviolet rays.
However, UV-stabilised Multifilament Polypropylene is still more susceptible to deterioration in the sun than Nylon (Polyamid) or Polyester (the most UV-resistant of mooring lines).
Polypropylene has a lower breaking load than polyester or nylon, and it may be prudent to upsize to compensate.
On the upside, LIROS LIROLEN 3 Strand polypropylene is much lighter than nylon or polyester, making it more manageable and easier to handle, size for size.
