THANKS, PHIL. YOU ARE RIGHT, ABOUT CHOOSING THE "RIGHT ROPE"!! I HAVE SEEN BADLY DEGRADED ROPES, (USUALLY USED, AND CARED FOR WITH NO, OR MINIMAL CAR, OFTEN FOR SMALL BOATING ANCHOR ROPES, ETC. SOME PRACTICALLY DISINTEGRATE, OVER A FEW SEASONS, IN THE SUN.
What is the life expectancy of the polyester ropes if using in outdoor activity? Can we wash the polyester rope with water an soap solution? What is the discarding criteria of the polyester rope?
Polyester ropes can last 20 years or more in an outdoor environment, depending on the climate. Polyester has the best UV resistance of all the synthetic fibers, but still will eventually break down from the sunlight. Polyster can be washed in soap and water, no problem. The criteria for removing it from use varies depending on the application. Usually visible damage is a good indicator to discard. Hope that helps!
For hesco bags to be filed with earth Polyester vs polypropylene ? I read polypropylene has better uv resistance , contradicting to your video polypropylene is more expensive in my country Pakistan maybe due to demand Compare in terms of cloth not rope please Thanks
We wouldn't recommend double braid polyester for climbing. We have a section on our site with ropes specifically designed for climbing. Just use the search term "climbing".
It depends on what kind of emergency, but paracord is a great choice rightrope.com/product/paracord-commercial-550/ Strong, small, light, easy to carry in a pack, etc.
Of the three mentioned in the video, polyester and nylon are both better than polypropylene and both have a melting point of roughly 490 degrees fahrenheit.
Polypropylene does pretty well at low temps, but it does not perform as well as polyethylene. In extremely low temps we would recommend a polyethylene rope.
Does polypropylene toxic in gardens for say stringing up tomatoes? I bought a rope and seen it causes cancer. Will this leech out with rain water into my soil?
@@RightRopeOfficial thanks you sir. Look like paracord itself is a rope. So i am misunderstanding it. (My first thought paracord is kind of knitting yarn). Sorry my bad
We recommend not using the same rope for climbing and rigging. Only use your climbing line for climbing. Which one depends on how you are climbing, SRS, MRS, etc. As far as a rigging rope, we recommend Wonder Rope. That is our most durable rigging rope.
Most polypropylene is rough and plastic-like. Solid braid, multi-filament polypropylene (MFP) is soft and smooth and wouldn't hurt the skin. Other options would be solid braid nylon or solid braid polyester. All of these solid braid ropes are very soft and supple, and they tie and untie easily. Hope that helps!
We aren't sure what you mean by expanded polypropylene. Polypropylene ropes are extruded a few different ways, is that what you are referring to? Or are you thinking of expanded polystyrene, the white foam board?
What is the MBS on the battle rope that you sell? I stumbled across one of these (50 ft long) locally on Craigslist and it looks like it might be your product... My intended use is as a 4x4 recovery or tow rope (possibly adding a fire hose sleeve as a protector)...
@@RightRopeOfficial -- That's a good enough ballpark figure though... It probably is not made from a material that has the stretch needed for a kinetic rope, but is probably more than adequate for a non-kinetic pull... I suspect that you don't manufacture all your ropes anyway and just buy bulk and repackage... It has the shrink wrap handles and the weave looked the same -- that's why I thought it might be either yours or from whatever manufacturer that you use...
Please don't mix materials and brand names - nylon is a brand name for polyamide fibers made by DuPont (now 3M). You claim, polyester is more abrasion resistant than polyamide - if that's true, why do mountaineers only use polyamide ropes (dynamic as well as static) then ???
You are mistaken about the static rope and dynamic rope: Climbers use both polyester AND nylon. Static ropes are polyester and only strech little. Nylon is used in the dynamic ropes that strech much more. BOTH fibers have a meltingpoint around 215 dg C, and are borth quite resistant to abrasion and can take the heat developed by prussik knots uset as a safety device. Metingpoint is important for abrasion resistance. PP is much lower melting poind and is never used in climbing for the same reason. I think that the nylon and the polyester have SAME resistance to abrasion. I think that the man who made the vdeo is making a mistake here.
I think that there must be a mistake somewhere. Nylon fibres = polyamide are so strechy that you can NOT make static rope from that. Nylon-rope streches 3-5 times more than polyesterropes. And under tension, a nylonrope (dynamic climbing rope) will continue to strech and strech. This is not what a static rope wll do. A static ropes will strech a bit, and then stay without streching more. It is not possible to make static rope from nylon-fibres polyamide.
@@andersskoleovergaard9313 - I think, the mistake must be somewhere on your side. Don't set Paracord for Nylon and think, every polyamide fibre must be stretchy. Paracord is ment to absorb a lot of the opening shock from a parachute. MIL-Specs claim a minimum of 25% - in order to match that mark, the manufacturers make it more like 30%. But if you pre-stretch the fibres during the cooling process, you can take out the most of this 'build-in' stretch. As far as I know, polyester in its most stretchy state is not quite as stretchy as polyamide, and pre-stretched to the most, its less stretchy than PA. But the slickness of PA is only matched by Dyneema (=UHMD-PE). That's why sailors prefer polyester and mountaineers, which almost always use mechanical devices prefer polyamide.
@@mannihh5274 You still dont accept, that polyester is the material used in static ropes. You do know that polyester is less strechy than polyamide - and then of course that is used for the static ropes.
