Linotech polypropylene cord 4 mm, 500 m spool — Linotech 2572

Linotech polypropylene cord 4 mm on a 500 m spool is a lightweight synthetic cord designed for general-purpose tying and bundling. The cord’s 4 mm diameter and long continuous length on a single spool make it practical for repeated use in garden, household and light outdoor tasks. Made from polypropylene, the cord is resistant to moisture, rot and many common chemicals, and provides low stretch for stable holds in a variety of conditions.

Advantages

The cord offers a balance of strength and lightness, making it easy to handle and store on its 500 m spool. Its water-resistant polypropylene construction reduces degradation from moisture and biological decay, while the low-stretch properties help maintain secure ties. The smooth braided surface helps feed through pulleys, tie knots cleanly and resist snagging in everyday applications.

Suitable for

• Tying and bundling garden plants, branches and fencing
• Securing lightweight loads and packages
• Temporary lines for camping, tarpaulins and clotheslines
• General household and workshop uses requiring a low-stretch cord

How to use

Cut the cord to the required length using sharp scissors or a knife. For a secure finish on cut ends and to reduce fraying, melt the tip briefly with a lighter or heat source suitable for synthetic fibers, taking care to avoid burns and flammable surfaces. Tie appropriate knots for the load and application; common choices include clove hitch, bowline or reef knot depending on whether you need a fixed loop, a temporary tie or a quick-release. Store the spool in a dry, shaded place when not in use to preserve material properties.

Usage recommendations

Do not use this polypropylene cord for life-safety applications, high-load lifting or where certified load-bearing rope is required. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV without periodic inspection, and replace the cord if cuts, heavy abrasion or significant weakening are observed.
