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.

NOTE: Rope lanyards can be used with a
deceleration unit for fall-arrest |
