Our Polyester rope features:

Excellent UV and abrasion resistance.
-
Won\'t rot like cotton and other materials.
-
Low stretch (very important when supporting antennas).
-
It\'s strong (much stronger than Polypropylene).
-
It\'s soft and very easy to work with.
-
Round Design Works Great With Pulleys.
Flat rope is very difficult to use on pulleys.
Common uses include;
3/16\" rope is the perfect size for supporting large ham radio wire antennas when you need a little more strength than 1/8\".
Polyester is the best choice for antenna support rope or any outside application where strength, less stretch, UV and abrasion resistance is important.
-
Unlike Nylon, Polyester Rope is less elastic and therefore stretches much less. In fact Nylon Rope will stretch anywhere from 15 – 25% percent at it’s break point. Polyester on the other hand will normally stretch from 5 – 10%, at it\'s break point.
-
Nylon absorbs water and is 10-20% weaker when wet. Polyester is not affected by water and maintains its strength when wet.
-
Polyester Rope has better UV resistance, and is more abrasion resistant than nylon.
-
Polypropylene cost less but has limited resistance to ultraviolet light and is susceptible to friction.
DacRope® is 100% Polyester. Some rope manufacturers use a blend of polyester and other materials such as nylon or polypropylene and call it polyester because it has a polyester sleeve.
Rope is only as durable as its weakest component. Before you purchase rope, always ask if it is 100% polyester.
