Synthetic flax

Synthetic flax combines the advantages of a synthetic rope with the appearance of a natural rope. Hempex, Polyhemp, SyntheticHemp, Spleitex, and Vlastex are different names for the same type of synthetic rope. The production base is polypropylene, but the synthetic fibers are processed in the traditional way of natural fibers. In this rope guide, we explain the difference clearly and practically, so you can make the right choice for your application.
