Nylon rope used in Klein lanyards is a filament-nylon type with long strands that impart a very high-tensile strength and excellent elasticity.
The following chart shows general physical qualities. Due to the wide variety of conditions in the workplace, this information should only be considered as a general guide, and a qualified person should evaluate the specific application and hazards to which the materials will be exposed.
| Nylon Rope:
|
| Exposure to Excessive Heat |
Poor resistance. Becomes brittle, has a shriveled brown appearance. Fibers will break when flexed. Weakens at 300F (149C). |
| Exposure to Chemicals |
Generally good resistance, except around strong acids and phenolic compounds (phenol is present in coal tar and wood tar), which cause it to become brittle. |
| Exposure to Molten Metal or Flame |
Poor resistance. Strands fuse together and form hard, shiny spots. Has hard and brittle feel. Will not
support combustion. |
| Exposure to Paints or Solvents |
Generally offers good resistance. However, paint can penetrate into the weave and dry. This can cause webbing to become hard and brittle and can eventually break the fibers. Some solvents may affect fibers (see "Exposure to Chemicals"). |
| Exposure near Live Electrical Lines and Equipment |
Poor protection (no dielectric strength). Provides no protection to exposure to live electrical lines or equipment. |
When using any Klein Occupational Safety Equipment, always follow the A-B-C rule.

V-Sling with Nylon Rope
|
Features:
- Equipped with two drop-forged steel, corrosion-resistant Klein-Lok® locking snap-hooks with 11/16" (17mm) throat opening.
- Snap-hooks can connect to the shoulder D-rings of retrieval harnesses or the seat-strap D-rings of suspension harnesses.
- Long-strand 1/2" (13 mm) diameter nylon-filament rope construction for high tensile strength and excellent elasticity.
- Rope thimble at top has 1-1/8" (29 mm) diameter eye.
- Snap-hooks and rope thimble are permanently spliced onto the sling.
- For retrieval and suspension purposes only; NOT to be used for fall-arrest.
