Polypropylene(Monofilament) 3-Strand Twisted Rope
It holds up well against damage from most chemicals, rot and mildew, including acids. It is more abrasion resistant, more resistant to damage from exposure to sunlight, stretches far less, and does not lose strength when wet as nylon line does. It is lightweight and floats on surface of water. It is spiceable and must be bound or fused on end to prevent raveling.
