Characteristics of olefin

Olefin is the most versatile and durable material for outdoor use

It is made of a synthetic material that is resistant to sun, rain and other weather factors such as wind and temperature.

Therefore, Olefin ropes are ideal for outdoor usage.

In addition, olefin rope is highly resistant to UV rays and moisture.

It is also very easy to clean and maintain, which makes it ideal for applications that require frequent cleaning.

It is also very lightweight and tensile resistant.

OLEFIN CHARACTERISTICS

When it comes to choosing outdoor rope options, there are many doubts whether to go for olefin or acrylic, another rope quality that is often used. The main difference is that acrylic is composed of solution-dyed acrylic yarns, while olefin is composed of solution-dyed yarns made from polyolefin fibre. Both types of ropes are suitable for outdoor use, but olefin has several advantages.·

  • Ecological

The production of olefin is environmentally friendly. The manufacturing process creates very little waste, and the fibre is 100% recyclable: it can be extruded into new yarn up to ten times.·

  • GREENGUARD certified

Meets the highest standards for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (also known as VOCs) to protect indoor air quality.·

  • Water Resistant

Olefin performs exceptionally well with respect to water repellency.It does not absorb moisture and dries very quickly. (If you live in very rainy areas, you can rest assured that the fabric will not remain soaked after a passing rain). ) Olefin also repels moisture.·

  • Fade and UV resistant

Olefin outdoor rope should not fade from exposure to the sun. That’s why olefin rope was designed to stay as it was in the early days.·

  • No disadvantages

There are not many disadvantages to using olefin, however, it should be noted that this fabric is heat sensitive and should not be dried in a tumble dryer or ironed. Instead, let it air dry by itself to maintain its shape.

Luckily, olefin is easy to maintain: a simple wipe down with soap and water from time to time will keep it in top condition.
