Because of its lightweight, polypropylene is the only rope that floats and for this reason, is very popular for use as pool markers and water sports. Polypropylene is affected by sunlight deterioration (more so than any other synthetic or natural fiber rope), but its life can be extended by storing it away from direct sunlight. Polypropylene begins to weaken at 150 deg F and melts at 330 deg F, the lowest melting point of all synthetic ropes.

Polyester is very close to nylon in strength when a steady force is applied. Polyester, however, stretches very little (unlike nylon) and therefore cannot absorb shock loads as well as nylon. It is equally resistant to moisture and chemicals and is superior to nylon in resistance to sunlight. Polyester is the most popular general-purpose rope in the boating industry. Polyester comes in a double-braid construction which increases its strength making it the strongest of rope types.
