Webbing is available in a variety of materials, EP Launcher International Co,.ltd mainly supply the polypropylene, nylon, polyester, poly-cotton material webbing. The type of material used for the webbing is the main determinant of the webbing’s strength, abrasion resistance, use, and price. You need a webbing but confused which one to get as there are numerous varieties of webbing in the market that can be selected for your requirement. For this reason it is important to have a basic understanding of the basic differences between the various webbing materials available. Here, we mainly to talk about the difference about polypropylene webbing vs nylon webbing.
Polypropylene webbing
Polypropylene webbing is a soft, flexible fabric of woven fibers. Made from thermoplastic resins, this versatile material is perfect for outdoor use due to its UV resistance and waterproof fibers. Polypropylene webbing won’t stretch like Nylon webbing can, and is more resistant to acid, alkaline, oil and grease.
Polypropylene webbing , or “polypro,” is a popular strapping material for two reasons: it is economical and it can be used in many of the same applications as nylon. Polypro is flexible, water-proof, and lightweight with tensile strengths between 600-1000 pounds, depending on the width and the manufacturer.
Nylon Webbing
Nylon webbing is 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 webbing 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 webbing can easily absorb water and can be stretched slightly when wet but these cannot float over water. Nylon webbing has longer life than polypro webbing.
You may have a clear ideal about polypropylene webbing vs nylon webbing, and have no confuse to choosing polypropylene webbing or nylon webbing after reading this passage.
