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.
