Ropes can be made from various types of material, properties of some of the most common materials are summarised below. This page provides specifications only for the polypropylene ropes, although these may not be the best choice in every situation as described below.
| Natural fibre | Polypropylene | Nylon/polyester | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | - | + | ++ |
| UV Resistance | +++ | - | + |
| Elasticity | + | ++ | ++++ |

Below is the specification of rope used with plastic sheeting, as part of IOM prepositioned kits.
Choose the material according to the use:
- Polypropylene is commonly available and of average cost, it serves general purposes. Very sensitive to UV. Dark colour ropes, in particular black, resist UV far more than light colour ropes.
Standard minimum breaking strength, and in brackets the limit of use:
- Polypropylene: 6mm/590kg (200kg) - 8mm/1040 kg (350kg) - 14mm/2990kg (1000kg)
Black ropes are recommended for outdoors long-term use, for their resistance to UV. Large quantities are normally purchased per weight instead of length. Nevertheless, a minimum length should also be indicated in the contract.
