Polyester Webbing
Strong, yet lightweight, polyester webbing is ideal for a variety of applications. The fabrication allows for very little stretch, and resists abrasions, as well as damage from UV rays and most common chemicals. Because it absorbs very little water, it prevents mold, mildew, and rotting, even after being exposed to the elements over time. The limited water absorption also prevents shrinkage.

Benefits and uses of polyester webbing
Durable and versatile, polyester cargo webbing is extremely strong, yet lightweight. Its resistance against abrasion and UV rays, and limited water absorption makes it ideal for uses that require a lightweight strength against heavy loads or pressure, such as for tie-downs, tie straps, cargo straps, E-track straps, tow straps, winch straps, and ratchet webbing straps to name a few.
Polyester webbing is sometimes called webbing ratchet, because it can be used with a variety of hardware like ratchets and cam buckles, flat hooks and e-track to create customized tie-down and cargo straps. Its combination of strength, low stretch ability and abrasion resistance also makes it ideal for lifting and hoisting items as well as some towing applications. Polyester webbing straps are resistant against mold, mildew, rotting and shrinking, making it a long-lasting and economical choice, especially for outdoor uses.
Polyester webbing is the idea choose for lanyard , medal ribbon and apparel accessories.
Polyester webbing vs nylon webbing
Because nylon cargo webbing can look very much like polyester webbing, knowing which to use for specific applications can be confusing.
In many cases, polyester straps are safer and more efficient than heavy duty nylon webbing, especially when dealing with heavy loads or pressure. For example, under a 2500 lb. load, a polyester strap stretches approximately 5 to 15%, while a heavy duty nylon strap stretches between 20 to 30%.
If your job calls for a more stretchable fabric, US Cargo Control also carries nylon webbing ratchet strapping in a variety of sizes. Unlike poly webbing, nylon will stretch significantly more than polyester. This snap back quality makes it a better choice for jobs where a snatch effect is needed, such as in vehicle recovery. Using a stretchy nylon strap as tie down webbing can cause damage because the nylon lacks the tension needed to keep the item secure.
Seatbelt webbing is another option if you need a polyester cargo web but for a more lightweight application. These webbing straps offer the durability of polyester, but with a slightly thinner profile and lower break strength.
