Selection guide to help you decide which kind of rope is right for your application เชือก ชนิดเชือก ชนิดของเชื่อก MANILA was once the preferred choice in cordage before synthetic fibers were developed. Manila rope still maintains some advantages to synthetic fiber rope; it is not affected by heat, and has excellent resistance to UV (ultraviolet) rays. SISAL fibers come from the agave and sisalana plants indigenous to the tropics. Sisal fibers share many characteristics with manila, but only 80% of its tensile strength. It is less expensive than manila and makes a good general purpose rope. Sisal is commonly used to produce tying twine as well. JUTE is mainly used as a tying twine. It knots well, but due to its short fibers, does not have the strength of manila or sisal.
