Natural or synthetic? The right choice depends on strength, durability, and usage conditions. Natural ropes offer advantages in terms of durability and degradability, while synthetic varieties are superior in strength and resistance to external influences.
🌿 Natural twine (e.g., sisal) for true garden enthusiasts is biodegradable and doesn't leave behind microplastics. It has high friction but lower tensile strength, absorbs moisture, and has moderate UV resistance. Ideal for garden and ecological applications.
🪢 Synthetic twine (e.g., polypropylene) is lightweight, durable, water-repellent, and floats on water. It doesn't absorb moisture and is chemically resistant, but melts at high temperatures. Ideal if you need a robust and weatherproof rope!
