RAM-PRO 80 ft. Diamond Braid Polypropylene All Purpose Flagline Rope, High Strength, Resistant and Excellent Shock Absorption, Thickness ¼ inch | Good for Tie, Pull, Swing, Climb and Knot

The rope (made in China and distributed by wholesale in the U. S. Founded and registered with Mix N More as a RAM-powered company ) is made of polypropylene, and is sold here by a retailer. By exposing the polymer structure to ultraviolet [UV] light, the polymer structure is affected, reducing its mechanical properties and making it unsuitable for long term applications. Solar exposure is the process of being exposed to the sun. There is a statement that rope is treated to resist sun damage from UV rays on this website, however the chemical(s) used for such treatment are not stated. Various chemicals can be involved in this process In this context, UV absorbers, quenchers, or stabilizers may be used. There is no way to distinguish toxic substances from those that are not, which can create health risks. As another not-reported fact, this rope is approved by California's law to carry a Warning of Proposition 65 on the label. The warning states "This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. ". It is recommended that hands are thoroughly cleaned Neither the warning nor cleaning instructions appear in the box that came with the rope (see attached image), but you can find them in other online markets that sell the rope, as well as on the website. Visit Ram-com to learn more about It is not even mentioned that a rope is used in Pro (at the time of writing this). As a result, polypropylene of standard composition is not listed on the Prop65 list of carcinogenic chemicals or reproductive toxicants, nor does it need to be warned. As the rope bears a component, it's proof that its UV treatment causes its toxic effects. As a result of the rope's price and color, it is likely that titanium dioxide was embedded (to absorb UV light) into the polymer fibers. In addition to being a carcinogenic substance to experimental animals, this chemical has been added to the Prop65 list for situations in which unbound particles of breathing size can be released, as when handling a rope embedded with this toxic substance. In fact, I would not have bought the rope if this warning had also been presented in the Product Information section of this page, as transparent sellers do by placing a link to the Amazon page "About California Proposition 65" (Amazon. See 2xkHM67). This was immediately returned to the owner.

The rope that we used on our flagpole to replace the old one we purchased 15 years ago was purchased from a local vendor. Almost eight months after its installation, the rope was completely The outer wrap of the inner core can be scratched off with a fingernail, but the inner core remains very strong. The outer covering bunches up as you raise and lower the flag, and the pulley cannot move freely over it. Yesterday, I replaced the rope with another one. I strongly advise against purchasing this product. This is my first Amazon review where I am writing a negative review. Several of my purchases are made on Amazon and some of my reviews are written there.

This rope seemed like it would be ideal for use as It's easy to use and easy to clean The white looks fresh and the price is reasonable. The presentation was excellent A little while, but not There are now numerous places where the nylon core is visible, and the fiber is quite frayed, mostly throughout its length. When I ordered the rope in February, I did not string it outside to hang clothes until the spring, so I used it only for more than a decade. Therefore, I would There is no point to it.

How long has it been? A nylon rope was described in the description. The life expectancy of nylon is typically ten years or more. Within 6 months of hanging outside, the rope cover disintegrated once it became untied from the net covering the vegetable garden. How hard it is to clean up such a mess! A fake product has been sold here.

According to its listing, the item should protect against UV rays, but this is not the case. Three months after installation in light marine applications for fender lines, the outer jacket in the application turned to dust and the straight stranding that is left is quite fragile. This is why sisal baler twine would be a better choice, which should give an idea of how useless this In any case, if the class is held inside in a room without any windows, it is probably just fine for learning knot tying.

As soon as I got the 80ft, I realized I had made a mistake. Consequently, it is a cheat since it was only 40 feet in size.

When I ordered it, I thought it would be nylon (UV resistant), but someone (presumably at Amazon's warehouse) substituted Illinois Industrial Tool's flagline, which is made from The term poly can be used to refer to polyester, polyethylene, or polypropylene, not all of which are UV-resistant. Since I am unfamiliar with what I have or how long it will last, I can't say exactly how long it will last. Also, what I received is 3/16" and.

Durability is important to me in a The purpose of this is to attach my kids' climbing net to their house so that it doesn't blow when there's a lot of wind, and also so it can be more stable as they It is hard to cut and tie every end to the play house so I was going to cut and tie it. I think that for some people, that can be a good thing, but in my case, it meant that my husband tied the rope from one side of the play house through the net to the other side. Adding a rope to the net will raise it higher. So that the rope does not extend higher than the bottom of the net, my kids can climb without interference, I would like to find a way to cut the rope.
