Webbing is a light and strong fabric woven as a flat strip or tube of varying width and fibers often used in place of rope. The name webbing comes from the meshed material frequently used in its construction, which looks like a web. Modern webbing is often made from extrodinary high-strength material, such as Dyneema, nylon, polyester, and Kevlar.
Choosing the right webbing is determined by what your application will be.
First of all determine the amount of pressure the webbing will be under in
pounds and check our reference chart to see which webbings fit your range. Then
decide whether your webbing will be used indoors or outdoors.
Flat Nylon Webbing is a very strong webbing that comes in many bright colors, but can fade in the sun after repeated exposure, and can stretch when wet (about 2% the length of the webbing over repeated use). It is commonly used for dog collars and leashes.
Polypropylene Webbing is a lighter duty webbing, but has U.V. Protection, water resistant, and overall is a great outdoor webbing (such as Rafting Straps).It typically comes in more standard colors and has a rough feel if repeatedly used against the skin.
Polyester Webbing or Patterned Polyester Webbing is a great outdoor or
indoor webbing. Polyester is strong but some forms of polyester can bleed their
color in wet conditions. If this an issue in your application make sure you
contact us so we can direct you to the right Polyester before you buy.
Ribbon on Webbing is a new way to get great patterns on durable material. Because the sublimation process is heat intensive patterns that were available in polyester were just not possible for the other material types. Ribbon on Webbing is patterned ribbon sublimated and sewn onto one side of your choice of webbing. All colors are sewn on with our black bonded polyester thread, the sole exception being the Hearts pattern which will use red.
