About the Characteristic Odor

Like all industrial ropes produced by OGAWA, this rope contains JBO (Jute Batching Oil), which is used during the jute manufacturing process.

This may result in a characteristic odor, particularly noticeable when the rope is new. Our preparation process significantly reduces this odor before shipping.

With use, ventilation, and time, the odor gradually fades. Humidity may temporarily intensify it, which is completely normal.
