Product Description
A 3-strand Polyethylene (PE) rope is a classic and widely used type of synthetic rope. It is manufactured by twisting three individual strands of polyethylene yarns together in a helical pattern, creating a twisted or "hawser-laid" construction.
Polyethylene itself is a common plastic polymer, and the rope made from it is characterized by its stiffness and rigid feel compared to more flexible ropes like polypropylene. It is a cost-effective general-purpose rope for light to medium-duty tasks.
Key Features
- Excellent Buoyancy: PE has a density less than water (approximately 0.94-0.96 g/cm³), making the rope float very reliably.
- Low Cost: One of the most economical synthetic ropes available, providing a low-cost solution where ultra-high strength is not required.
- Weather and Moisture Resistance: Does not absorb water and is highly resistant to rot, mildew, and seawater degradation.
- Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to many common chemicals, acids, and alkalis for industrial environments.
- Abrasion Resistance: Offers reasonable durability against wear and abrasion for its price point.
