Webbing: The broad term used to describe a strong fabric woven in a flat, narrow strip or tube.
Polyester Webbing: Webbing made from polyester fibers, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to moisture and UV rays.
Nylon Webbing: Webbing made from nylon fibers, known for its high strength, elasticity, and resistance to abrasion.
Polypropylene Webbing: Webbing made from polypropylene fibers, which is lightweight, resistant to moisture, and often used in applications where exposure to water is a concern. It is also a great economical option.
Cotton Webbing: Webbing made from cotton fibers, known for its softness and natural feel. It is less commonly used in heavy-duty applications due to lower strength compared to synthetic materials.
Breaking Strength: The maximum force or load a webbing can withstand before breaking.
Weave Pattern: The manner in which the fibers are interlaced during the weaving process, influencing the strength and flexibility of the webbing.
Jacquard Webbing: A type of woven webbing with intricate patterns created using a Jacquard loom.
Twill Webbing: Webbing with a twill weave pattern, characterized by diagonal lines or ribs.
Herringbone Webbing: Webbing with a herringbone weave pattern, resembling the bones of a fish.
Grosgrain Webbing: Webbing with a distinctive ribbed appearance, often used for crafts, pet accessories, bags, apparel.
Mil-Spec Webbing: Webbing that meets military specifications for strength, durability, and other characteristics.
Seatbelt Webbing: A type of webbing designed to meet automotive safety standards, known for its high strength and abrasion resistance.
Webbing Width: The width of the webbing, measured in inches or millimeters.
Sublimation Printing: A method of printing designs or patterns directly onto the webbing using heat and pressure.
Elongation: The amount by which a webbing can stretch under a specific load.
Abrasion Resistance: The ability of the webbing to withstand wear, rubbing, or scraping over time without deteriorating.
Coated Webbing: Webbing that has been treated with a coating, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or polyurethane, to enhance durability, water resistance, or other properties.
Dye Sublimation: A printing process where dye is infused into the webbing, creating vibrant and long-lasting colors.
Loop: A formed or sewn end of webbing, often used for attachment points or handles.
Buckle: A fastening device used to secure the ends of webbing, commonly made of metal or plastic.
Strap: A length of webbing with a specific purpose, such as a shoulder strap or luggage strap.
Tensile Strength: The maximum force that can be applied to a material before it breaks.
Warp: The lengthwise yarns or fibers in the weaving process.
Weft: The crosswise yarns or fibers in the weaving process.
Melting Point: The temperature at which the fibers in the webbing start to melt.
Berry Compliant: Refers to products, including webbing, that comply with the Berry Amendment, a U.S. law requiring certain military items to be produced with domestic materials and labor.
Load Capacity/Working Load: The maximum load that a webbing or strap is designed to carry safely. This is usually a 1/3 of the breaking strength. I.e. a 300 pound working load would have a 900 pound breaking strength.
D-ring: A metal ring shaped like the letter “D” often attached to webbing for additional attachment points.
Splicing: The process of joining two ends of webbing.
Ratchet Strap: A type of strap with a ratcheting mechanism for tightening and securing loads.
Tubular Webbing: A type of climbing or industrial webbing that is woven into a tubular shape, forming a hollow cylinder. Additionally, the hollow interior allows for the insertion of additional components, such as cords or other webbing, making it versatile in certain applications.
