Polypropylene rope is rot resistant and floats, making it very popular for water sports and markers.

Polypropylene is the best choice for budget conscious applications where the rope will not be exposed to abrasion or UV for extended periods of time or where buoyancy is needed.  This includes cheap disposable twine, general purpose budget ropes, and infrequently used ropes.
