Side Release Buckle Strap made with Lightweight Polypropylene Webbing 2 inch. Lightweight Polypropylene webbing 2 inch has a breaking strength of 1200 pounds with a thickness of 0.040 of an inch. Plastic side release buckles are not rated.

Side Release Buckle Straps, like plastic cam buckle straps, these straps are for light duty applications. Strapworks' offers two styles, the first style is a single adjust buckle the webbing sew on to the female side of the buckle and the male side allows adjustment of the strap. The second style is a double adjust buckle where both sides are adjustable because the webbing is not sewn on to the buckle. Side release buckle straps are used for belts, containment, lashing straps, etc. A strap is only as strong as its weakest link. A guide line for finding a safe working load is to take the breaking strength and divide it by one third. For example, Strapworks’ heavyweight polypropylene webbing 2 inch has a breaking strength of 1200 pounds, so a safe working load is 400 pounds. You also need to calculate your safe working load for your buckles and your stitching. When in doubt, buy 1 strap and test it for your application.
