Engineered Webbing
Products Engineered webbings
made from yarns such as Nomex®
, Kevlar®
, Spectra®
, Dyneema®
and Vectran®
are designed to take advantage of the specific yarn
characteristics to meet the challenges faced by
our customers. In the design process, we also look for the weak link in
these yarns, such as abrasion resistance, to make sure the final webbing is just
right for the application. See the reference chart below for
information about our materials.

testing process. |

|
We then frequently make a
sample webbing to not only validate a characteristic such as strength, but also
to allow the customer the opportunity to evaluate the product in their
particular application.
Please
contact us so we may discuss all the relevant considerations for
your engineered webbing application.
