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, so for applications that require your webbing to be used in a high heat environment, Kevlar® is the ideal choice. For environments that have high UV or moisture, Dyneema(R) would be the better choice. If you have a project coming up and are unsure of which webbing to choose, contact us, and we will help you find the best webbing for the job.
