How to extend the service life of coated webbing through maintenance

The durability and life of coated webbing depends on the materials. As we know, coated webbing owns two parts: inner fiber webbing and outer coating plastic layer. Generally, choose nylon webbing as inner webbing can enhance the tensile of coated webbing, while choose TPU or silicone as outer coating layer can make coated webbing wear-proof and anti-aging.

In addition to choosing suitable materials and manufacturing processes, regular maintenance and proper usage are crucial for extending the service life of coated webbing. Here are some effective maintenance measures:

1. Regular cleaning

The surface of coated webbing is prone to accumulating dust, oil, sweat, and other contaminants, which can affect its appearance and functionality. Regular cleaning can effectively remove dirt and prevent mold growth. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the webbing, and avoid strong acids or strong alkalis.

2. Prevent UV exposure

To avoid prolonged exposure to UV rays, especially in outdoor use, choose coated webbing with UV-resistant coatings or provide protective covers to minimize UV damage. If possible, store the webbing in a shaded area when not in use.

3. Avoid high temperatures and humidity

High temperatures and humid environments significantly affect coated webbing. Therefore, it is essential to avoid storing or using the webbing in environments with extreme temperatures or humidity. When storing, choose a dry and cool place, and avoid placing the webbing near heat sources.

4. Regular inspections

Regularly inspect the condition of coated webbing, particularly for webbing used in outdoor or industrial applications. Check for cracks, damage, hardening, or other signs of deterioration. If any issues are found, replace or repair the webbing promptly to prevent further damage.
