Nylon Webbings
You need a webbing but confused which one to get as
there are numerous varieties of
webbings in
the market that can be selected for your requirement. Webbings are the small
& narrow fabrics that are used as bag straps, seat belts, collars for
animals etc. The kinds of webbings are cotton webbing, nylon webbing,
polypro webbings, jute, plastic, vinyl &
rigid
webbings. The most common webbings are nylon webbings & polypro
webbings , a short form of polypropylene webbings. Here we will discuss
these two popular categories of webbings so that you can understand the
difference between these two types before buying.
Properties & Uses of Nylon Webbings
Nylon webbings are the
most popular that come in standard colors consisting of black, red, yellow,
navy blue, white & green but these can also be tailor made.
Nylon webbings are very strong and
durable having 4,200 to 5,500 pounds of tensile strength in the width of 1
to 1-1/2 inch. Tensile strength determines the average breaking point under
factory conditions. The melting point for nylon webbing is 450 degree F with
good resistance to UV. These also have excellent resistance to mildew &
abrasion. But if we talk about acids then it has the poor resistance for the
acids. Nylon webbings can easily absorb water and can be stretched slightly
when wet but these cannot float over water. Nylon webbing has longer life
than polypro webbings.
Nylon webbings are best suited for marine and outdoor applications. These
are also used as luggage straps, animal leads, in handbags and in different
sport equipments.
Properties & Uses of Polypro Webbings
Polypropylene Webbings
Polypro
webbings come just in black color and not as strong as nylon webbings. These
melt at 320 Degree F. Resistant to UV & mildew is same as that of nylon
webbing but the resistance towards abrasion is lesser than nylon webbings.
Tensile strength can vary from 600-1000 pounds and based on the width of
polypro webbing.
Polypropylene webbings can
resist acid, alkalies and oil & grease far better than nylon webbings.
It is also cheaper than nylon webbings and can float over water. Thus
propylene webbing are preferred in tying the batteries and used at placed
where there is a possibilities of having direct contact with acids.
So now depending upon what you need is you can select the most appropriate
webbing as both nylon and polypro webbings have numerous scope in terms of
usage. For more information on the types of webbing you can visit
