Posted: Oct 26, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

One must have often witnessed nylon webbings in the day-to-day life, without having any clue about its properties or the in depth facts and information attached to it. First of all let's discuss what exactly is a webbing. A webbing refers to a small or rather narrow piece of fabric that is used as seat belts, bag straps or collars for animals. Webbings can be of cotton, nylon, jute, plastic etc. Though, nylon and polypropylene webbings are two of the most popular webbings in the market. Each of these have their own strengths and weaknesses as a raw material as well as a finished product.

If we talk about nylon webbings, then these are actually very strong webbings with the durability of 4,200 to 5,500 pounds of tensile strength within the width of 1 to 1-1/2 inches. Tensile strength basically refers to the average breaking point of a material under the normal factory conditions. Nylon webbings are UV resistant and have a melting point of about 450 degree F. Besides, these are also resistant to abrasion and mildew. These are easily available in the standard colors of red, black, yellow, white, green and blue. Though on a flip side, if talk about the minus points of nylon webbings then, poor4 resistance to acids is one major lacking point. Since these are water absorbent and can stretch and float while being within water, they often used for marine purposes.

Polypropylene webbings better known as polypro webbings on the other hand, are drastically different from the nylon ones. These have a tensile strength of 600-1000 pounds depending upon the width of the webbing. Also, polypropylene webbings can easily melt at 320 degree F. the only edge that these have against the nylon ones are that these are acid resistant. Alkalies, oil or grease do not not have any adverse effect on these webbings hence, these are often used in batteries or at places where acids are directly coming in contact with the webbings.
