Webbing

Filed under: Glossary — Tags: — 5.5.2010

Webbing is a 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 resembles a web. It is a versatile component used in climbing, slacklining, furniture manufacturing, automobile safety, auto racing, towing, parachuting, military apparel, and many other fields. Modern webbing is often made from exceptionally high-strength material, such as Dyneema, nylon, polyester, and Kevlar. For less performance-oriented applications, cotton, polypropylene, and flax can be used. Webbing is both light and strong, with breaking strengths readily available in excess of 10,000 lb (44.4 kN)
