What are Synthetic Fiber Slings

Synthetic Fiber Slings offer several attractive features as following, which promote their popularity among rigging products:
Reduce friction between the lifted object and prevent surface damage
Slight elastic elongation, less than 3% of its length under working load
High corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance
Small bending radius
Lightweight, good flexibility
High strength and a large safety factor
Non-conductive, non-rebounding, reducing the risk of injury to people
No sparks in flammable environments

Characteristics:

1. High strength synthetic fibers are tightly interwoven to provide strength and durability.
2. Various load capacities ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tons. 
3. The safe working load (SWL) is typically marked on the sling to indicate the maximum weight it can safely lift under normal use conditions.
4. The softness of the web will not mar, deface or scratch loads, while its flexibility assures a firm, secure grip around the item being lifted.
5. The lightweight of the material, combined with superb flexibility allows the slings to be quickly and safely handled by riggers.
6. Long life cycles may be experienced since synthetic web is unaffected by moisture, mildew, rot and certain chemicals.
7. Synthetic web slings are manufactured from safety factor 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, to 8:1.
8. Web slings often have reinforced edges or protective sleeves at the contact points to enhance durability and resistance to abrasion.
9. These features help prolong the lifespan of the sling and maintain its lifting capacity.
10. Web slings often employ a color-coded system to identify different load capacities. 
11. Each color represents a specific load capacity range, making it easier for users to select the appropriate sling for their lifting needs.
