It can be made from natural and synthetic fibres. The main natural raw materials used include linen, jute and sisal; while polyester, polypropylene and raffia are mainly used to make synthetic ropes. Depending on the fibre used and the manufacturing procedure, ropes can be obtained for various uses including furniture, nautical, fishing, packaging and technical sectors.
