 Polypropylene
Rope
Nexcycle Plastics recycles plastic scrap for making polypropylene rope.
As a polypropylene recycler, we recycle polypropylene for a variety of
products made using the extrusion or injection molding processes, i.e.,
polypropylene rope. Our product, NPI – 10PP212 Mixed Color
is manufactured from post industrial polypropylene and is highly
recommended for making polypropylene rope. As a leading polypropylene
recycler and compounder, we have an extensive supply of polypropylene and are
well placed to offer you the lowest cost performance solutions available.
What is Polypropylene Rope?
As a part of the much larger plastic rope family, our polypropylene is one of
the most widely used resins for making plastic rope. Usually defined as a
length of synthetic fibers, twisted or braided together for pulling and
connecting objects, polypropylene rope is thicker and stronger than similarly
constructed cord, line, string, or twine. Polypropylene is a synthetic
polymer of propylene monomers. Named for its versatility, polypropylene is a
lightweight thermoplastic that is polymerized from propylene and has a methyl
group branching off of every other carbon along its molecular backbone.
Because the most common form of polypropylene has the methyl groups all on
one side of the carbon backbone, polypropylene molecules tend to be highly
aligned and compact, giving this thermoplastic the properties of durability
and chemical resistance. This polyolefin is considered the most versatile of
the plastic family which explains its continuing and rapid increase in use.
Benefits and Properties
Polypropylene is a hydrocarbon that is distilled from the petroleum refining
process. Light, but strong and durable, it is thought to be one of the
cheapest and most versatile of all the thermoplastics. As a light weight
plastic, polypropylene exhibits a unique set of properties. Not only is it
fairly light, durable and impact resistant, it has a high melting point (327°
F/164° C), good electrical insulation properties, doesn't absorb water and is
highly resistant to aggressive chemicals. The combination of these properties
make it a popular and promising plastic for manufacturers.

Applications for Recyled Polypropylene
Polypropylene is one of the most versatile resins on the market.. As
polypropylene suppliers, our products are used for a wide range of products
including polypropylene rope, luggage, carpeting, fiber, strapping,
containers, bags, packaging and tubing. Because of its unique properties,
recycled polypropylene is used by a wide range of industries to create virtually
an unlimited number of products. Most of these products are created using the
injection molding process and include everything from household goods such as
containers for yogurt, margarine, takeout meals, and deli foods. It's also
used to make medicine bottles, bottle caps and closures, and bottles for
ketchup and syrup. In addition to packaging, and mostly because of its light
weight, polypropylene is the only rope which floats. For this reason, it is
also very popular in the marine industry as pool markers and water
activities.
