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 (Polyamide) 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 Squareline polypropylene is much lighter than nylon or polyester, making it more manageable and easier to handle, size for size.

Jimmy Green Spliced Length Advisory

The splicing is carried out on a reel end offcut.
Therefore, the finished dimensions will be the offcut length, LESS the amount of rope required to form the loop and the splice.
