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: |
| 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 Choker Anchorage
Connector
 |
Features
- This anchorage connector can be used to
fasten around an I-beam or similar structure to provide a compatible
anchorage for attaching a fall-arrest connecting device.
- This connecting device must only be
fastened to structures (or other anchorages) that are capable of
supporting 5,000 Ibs.
- Unique half-twist design allows the
2" (51 mm) wide nylon webbing to remain flat and in continuous
contact with the structural member. This feature reduces wear and
stress on the webbing.
- Durable forged circle D-ring has
corrosion-resistant finish, wear-minimizing roller, and is 100%
proof-loaded to meet OSHA regulations.
- This is NOT an occupational protective
belt for personal use.
