Polypropylene is a very light material with a density of 0.91, this means a rope in this material will float. Polypropylene has a moderate resistance to UV and abrasion. The extension to break is similar to polyester but the strength is not as high. Polypropylene has a relatively low melting point at 170 deg C. Polypropylene has a good resistance to a huge range of chemicals. Filament yarns comprised of several single filaments with less than 0.1mm diameter are described as multifilament.
