Characteristics of industrial webbing:
 
Industrial webbing focuses on strength, durability, abrasion resistance, weather resistance and safety to cope with various harsh industrial environments.
 
1. Webbing thickness:
There is a wide range of thickness options for industrial webbing, which must be determined based on the tensile force, degree of wear, and usage environment.
Thin webbing: usually used for light loads or bundling, such as cable ties, light machine fixation, etc.
Medium-sized webbing: widely used for bundling, hanging or fixing medium loads, such as cargo bundling, tool belts, equipment fixing, etc.
Heavy-duty webbing: Used in situations where it can withstand great tension or weight, such as lifting slings, fixing of heavy machinery, lashing of containers, etc.
There is no absolute standard for thickness, but it is measured by the tensile force it can withstand (tensile strength), which is usually expressed as the tensile force it can withstand per unit width (such as kN/mm).
 
2. Webbing width:
Webbing width is also chosen based on use and required strength. Wider webbing distributes pressure and provides a larger contact area for heavy loads. Common width specifications include:
Narrow webbing: often used for light strapping, signage or small accessories.
Medium width webbing: widely used for various bundling, hanging and fixing.
Wide webbing: used for binding heavy loads, large goods or situations requiring a large contact area, such as container lashings, lifting slings, etc.
 
3. Webbing texture:
The textures of industrial webbing are mainly plain and twill, and the focus is on strength and wear resistance.
Plain/Tabby webbing: It has a compact structure, high strength, and wear resistance, but poor elasticity. It is often used in situations where high strength is required.
Twill webbing: The structure is relatively loose, the elasticity is good, the surface has diagonal lines, and the touch is soft. It is often used in occasions that require moderate elasticity.
Other textures are less commonly used for purely industrial purposes, but if there are special needs, such as increased friction or a special appearance, other textures will also be used.
 
4. Webbing material:
The material selection of industrial webbing is very important and needs to be selected according to the use environment and required characteristics. Common materials include:
Polyester fiber (Polyester): High strength, wear-resistant, UV-resistant, chemical-resistant, not easy to absorb water, and relatively low-priced. It is one of the most commonly used materials for industrial webbing.
Nylon (Nylon): High strength, wear-resistant, good elasticity, and impact resistance, but has higher water absorption than polyester fiber and is also more expensive.
Polypropylene: Light, waterproof, and chemical-resistant, but has poor abrasion resistance and UV resistance. It is often used in water operations or chemical environments.
Aramid fiber: Such as Kevlar and Nomex, which have extremely high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, high temperature resistance and flame retardancy. They are often used in high-strength and high-security applications, such as bulletproof Vests, firefighting equipment, lifting slings, etc.
Blended materials are sometimes used to combine the advantages of different materials.
 
5. Purposes of industrial webbing:
Industrial webbing has a wide range of uses. Here are some common applications:
Cargo bundling and securing: For example, bundling of truck cargo, containers, and pallets.
Lifting and hanging: such as lifting slings and slings.
Safety protection: such as safety belts, safety belts for working at heights, and anti-fall equipment.
Industrial equipment fixation: such as machine tool fixation and pipeline fixation.
Transport and logistics: e.g. truck straps, tow ropes.
Construction and civil engineering: e.g. formwork fixing, supporting structures.
 
6. Characteristics of industrial webbing:
High strength: Withstand heavy objects or pulling force.
Wear Resistance: Resists wear and tear caused by prolonged use and friction.
Weather resistance: Resistant to the effects of environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, moisture, temperature changes, etc.
Chemical resistance: Resistant to chemical attack.
Safety: Comply with relevant safety standards and regulations.
Durability: Able to be used for a long time without being easily damaged.
When selecting industrial webbing, the required strength, width, texture, material and properties must be carefully evaluated based on specific application needs to ensure safety and reliability. It is recommended to refer to relevant industry standards and specifications, such as ISO, EN, AS/NZS, etc., to select products that meet the requirements.
