Harnesses HARNESSES

Webbing Most harnesses are polyester or nylon - both synthetic materials noted for high strength and tenacity and capable of dealing with the typical rigors in most applications. Kevlar® or Nomex® may be used in situations where users are engaged in welding or may be exposed to electrical arc/flash hazards. PVC coated webbings are often used for users engaged in painting or in dirty areas. Materials Defined

Hardware Different alloys or non-conductive materials may be used in hardware components to take advantage of their properties. Stainless steel components may be utilized in highly corrosive environments, or in many cases, aluminum is utilized to reduce the overall weight of the product in an effort to make the user’s experience more comfortable.
