Polypropylene ropes have a poor resistance to surface abrasion and have problems with heat build-up. So there are no offshore mooring ropes made out of pure polypropylene. But polypropylene is used in mooring ropes in combination with polyester.

 

These hybrid ropes of polypropylene and polyester can have strength and stiffness properties similar to those of all- polyester ropes. Benefits of these polypropylene polyester hybrid are a lower weight and cost.

 

The polypropylene polyester hybrid has greater resistance to surface abrasion and heat build-up than all-polypropylene ropes.
