2. What does this nylon webbing feel like and what are its capabilities?

   Nylon webbing material feels soft and lustrous. Almost slick.

   Nylon webbing offers many beneficial properties over other materials:

• Machine Washable (but dry on low heat only)
• Melting Point of 480 degrees Fahrenheit
• Tensile strength depends on width and thickness (Light, Heavy, Heavy Plus, or Super Heavy)
• Benchmark tensile strength is our 1" heavy nylon webbing strap @ 4,200lb
• High strength to weight ratio
• Low stretch (< 2%)
• Does not degrade in sunlight

However, nylon webbing does have some limitations:

• Isn't waterproof
• It can mildew if it gets wet and is not dried properly

* For applications where waterproofing is your primary concern, polypropylene webbing is recommended.

3. How is it made/what is the construction of it?
