A PP (Polypropylene) and Polyester mixed mooring rope is a synthetic rope designed to blend the properties of both fibers, aiming to create a cost-effective solution for specific mooring applications. It's important to understand that this is a compromise product, not a high-performance one.
The blend typically involves a Polyester core for strength and low stretch, with a PP jacket or a intermingling of the fibers to provide buoyancy and reduce cost.

This combination is engineered to offer a specific set of benefits, primarily focused on cost-saving:
Lower Cost: This is the primary advantage. Polypropylene is one of the cheapest synthetic fibers. By mixing it with the more expensive polyester, manufacturers can produce a rope that is cheaper than a 100% polyester rope.
Floats (Buoyancy): Inherited from the polypropylene component, this rope will float on the water's surface. This prevents it from sinking and getting tangled in a boat's propeller or dragged along the bottom where it can chafe on rocks or debris.
Good Abrasion Resistance: The polypropylene cover is generally resistant to wear from docks, pilings, and chocks.
Decent Strength (from Polyester): The polyester core or blend provides significantly better strength and lower stretch than a pure polypropylene rope.
Chemical & Mildew Resistance: Both fibers are highly resistant to rot, mildew, and degradation from saltwater.
This type of rope is best suited for low-to-medium duty applications:
Pleasure Craft and Small Boats: Mooring for small sailboats, powerboats, and fishing boats in protected marinas and lakes.
Dock Lines for Medium-Sized Vessels: As temporary or secondary lines where extreme loads are not expected.
Applications Where Buoyancy is Critical: Ideal for ski boats, as tow ropes where a sinking line would be a major hazard.
Budget-Conscious Buyers: For boat owners who need a functional, durable rope at a lower price point than premium materials.
