UV Protection
Nylon webbing is a very strong web, but if you put it under the sunlight after a period of time, it will quickly lose color, so that is why the old nylon webbing looks pale. Polyester webbing is also easy to dye and it doesn’t fade easily and easy to wash and does not absorb odors. But please do not put it under the sunlight for a long time.
Abrasion Resistance and Waterproof
Both polyester and nylon webbing is strong, but the polypropylene webbing is weaker than them. Some customer who made tie-down webbing also choose the polypropylene material(but we do not suggest). Polyester webbing is waterproof. when in a wet environment, the nylon material is weaker than polyester.
Nylon webbing is most commonly used in making the dog leash, safety belt, luggage strap, and some other sports product. polypropylene and polyester webbing looks very similar to nylon webbing but lighter and inexpensive, these webbings are used for dog leash, backpack, etc.
Polyester webbing is the most frequently ordered by our customers. Besides webbing, we also have lifting sling, recovery strap, ratchet straps. Here is the comparison for tie-down webbing purposes after testing.
