Sisal rope, like manila rope, is made from a hard natural fibre, but it's strength is about 20% less than manila ropes. It also has excellent resistance to sunlight, little stretch, and good knot-holding ability. Sisal rope must be stored dry to avoid mildew, and chemicals will cause it to deteriorate. It's widely used in navigation, petroleum exploitation, mining, fishing, lumbering, architecture, communication and civil use.
