Crawford-Lehigh MFP8100 3/8-Inch-by-100-Foot Diamond Braid Poly Rope, Colors Vary

by Crawford-Lehigh

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This 3/8" x 100' hank Multi-color all purpose diamond braid poly rope. Use around water - it floats and resists rot and mildew. Excellent for use at the job site. Because of its light weight, polypropylene (poly) is the only rope which floats, and for this reason is very popular for use as pool markers and water sports. Poly is affected by sunlight deterioration (more so than any other synthetic or natural fiber rope), but its life can be extended by storing it away from direct sunlight. Poly begins to weaken and melt at 150 F, the lowest melting point of all synthetic ropes. It is not as strong as nylon or polyester, but two to three times stronger than manila. Because poly is less expensive than other fibers, it is the most popular all-purpose rope for the average consumer.

i thought that 244lbs seemed kinda low for 3/8" rope, but the core is a paper fibery mix. the description states that it is good around water, but it seems (from life's experiences) that paper gets waterlogged. another complaint is that if you cut it it will immediately unravel, and i normally use a lighter to singe the ends but with the paper core this made a bunch of ash and smoke. i wish that i new that "poly" included materials that were not polyurethane.

We bought four of these earlier this week, four of them seem to work fine, we are please with them so far (we have them outside and they have not gotten wet at this point). The fourth rope, is defective and the outside sheath slides up and down loosely on the rope core and we are requesting a replacement.

5.0 out of 5 stars As expected, October 29, 2011

I haven't used the product, but it arrived and met my expectations. If you are looking for cheap, space-efficient rope to throw in the trunk and use to tie things to the roof of your car, this is a good bet. I'm happy with my purchase.
