SYNTHETIC ROPES

Polypropylene cordage is strong and long-lasting. It is about twice as strong as manila rope. Benefits of polypropylene include constant strength even when wet, resistance to rot, mildew, abrasion, and UV. Also has a good strength and moderate stretch. This has made polypropylene a common rope for towing, marine, and rigging applications. This cordage is a reliable, cost-efficient choice for consumer and commercial use.

Manila ropes are made from high and medium-grade fibers. It is the strongest natural fiber rope. This cordage is durable, strong, and cost-efficient. This rope provides low stretch and abrasion resistance. However, the construction of this rope makes it unsuitable for use in environments with chemicals. Industries that commonly utilize manila ropes include general industrial, marine, shipping, oil, and even construction. 

Cortland designs and manufactures rope, slings, cables, and umbilical for the oil and gas, heavy marine, sub-sea, ROV, seismic, defense, and medical markets. Plasma® 12 Strand is the highest-strength synthetic rope available. Manufactured from high-performance Honeywell Spectra 900 ® Fiber that has been enhanced by Cortland's patented re-crystallization process. Plasma® is equal or greater strength to wire size for size, yet is significantly lighter making handling much easier.
