Flat nylon is best used for higher abrasion applications. It is not recommended to use in or around water continuously because it absorbs water quickly, causing rot & mildew. It can also stretch up to 2% of its length when wet (submerged in water multiple times). However,if you need a heavy duty strap for a "beefy" job, this webbing is for you. Nylon has a thickness of .070 - .075 of an inch and its breaking strength on flat nylon ranges from 2275lbs. - 5500lbs.
HEAVYWEIGHT POLYPRO
POLYESTER WEBBING
Polyester webbing is ideal for heavy loads with high abrasion. With the same feel of nylon, polyester is smooth, shiny, yet has 5x the abrasion rate of polypropylene webbing! When polyester is doubled with a cam or ratchet buckle, you have yourself a wonderful, reliable tie down or securing strap. It has a breaking strength of 3500lbs., low water absorption, and rot & mildew resistance. However, most polyester is not color fast, meaning the color may bleed. Our black 1" is color fast, but the other colors are not color fast, so be cautioned, the color may bleed on those straps. For more information email support@strapworks.com.
PATTERNED POLYESTERPatterned polyester webbing has the same great qualities as Flat Nylon webbing, with a couple extra bonuses! Polyester is great for indoors or outdoors due to its high abrasion resistance, excellent UV protection, high breaking strength, and resistance to rot & mildew. Strapworks.com now makes this wonderful patterned polyester in-house, and currently we have lots of designs/patterns with plenty more to come. Along with Flat Nylon, Polyester has the wonderful smooth feel to it that makes contact with skin comfortable. It's breaking strength ranges from 2500lbs. - 7000lbs., so it will work for your heaviest of jobs.
