FAQs about Kevlar® Webbing
What’s the difference between Kevlar® Webbing & Dyneema® Webbing?
While Kevlar® and Dyneema® webbing both have a high tensile strength, they are ideal for different applications. Kevlar® webbing is known to have better heat resistance than Dyneema® Webbing. Therefore, for applications that require your webbing to be used in a high heat environment, Kevlar® is the ideal choice. Regarding environments that have a high UV index or moisture, Dyneema(R) would be the better choice.
