More information about blue spilt film rope and polypropylene
Our blue split film rope is manufactured from polypropylene, also known as polyprop. This material is a popular thermoplastic polymer that has enjoyed widespread use for millions of applications around the world.
It is produced by heating chemicals to such a level where polymers are left behind. Polymers can then be turned into fibres or plastics. In the case of blue split film rope, these polymers are turned into fibres.
Polypropylene is a man-made, synthetic type of equipment. And, generally speaking, it is the least expensive type of man-made rope. Synthetic ropes offer numerous benefits for their users. These include:
- It has a high melting point
- It enjoys a translucent hue, making it useful for applications where aesthetics or the transfer of light is important
- It’s an elastic material, but loses nothing when it comes to toughness as it isn’t too soft
- Highly resistant to UV rays, which is important as this equipment is often used outdoors
- It’s also resistant to harmful chemicals too, such as acids
- Further adding to its good level of resistance is the fact that it is also strong and protected against general wear and tear damage such as twisting, crushing, bending, abrasion and fatigue
- Polyprop also has a high level of resistance against electricity, and so finds widespread use in electronic components
Clearly, as you can see, our this equipment offers a wide number of benefits.
