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.

Nylon-Filament Rope Lanyard - Adjustable Length and Wire Pigtail
|
Features:
- Unique and versatile connecting device designed for use in fall-arrest systems. Suited for workers on transmission towers and other elevated sites.
- The wire pigtail is constructed from 7/32" (6 mm) flexible steel cable and is coated in durable vinyl for a total diameter of 9/32" (7 mm).
- The pigtail is designed to wrap around structural members with sharp edges and attach back onto itself using a Klein-Lok® snap-hook. Never attach rope-lanyard end back onto itself.
- This connecting device must only be fastened to structures (or other anchorages) that are capable of supporting 5,000 Ibs.
- The adjustable long-strand nylon filament lanyard is 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter and is permanently attached to the pigtail end.
- The lanyard has two drop-forged steel, corrosion-resistant Klein-Lok® locking snap-hooks with 11/16" (17mm) throat opening.
