RIT 3/8" Kevlar Tubular Webbing

RIT Rescue Escape Systems - 3/8" Tubular Kevlar Webbing

RIT's 3/8" tubular kevlar webbing is used in both our search and egress systems. This tubular Kevlar is not only light weight, but easily compactable which makes it ideal for either application.

Features:

• 5,500 pound tensile strength
• 862 degree temperature rating
• When used for egress, tubular webbing must be accompanied by the RIT Descender
• Rope made from Kevlar is pound for pound five times as strong as steel and obviously much lighter in weight
• Rope made of Kevlar is stronger, at the same weight, than nylon or polyester rope
• Rope made of Kevlar does not suffer shrinkage like most other rope made from organic fibers when exposed to hot air or hot water
• Rope made of Kevlar exhibits far less creep (lengthening of a material under constant load) than nylon or polyester
• Rope made of Kevlar is less apt to suffer stress rupture (sudden failure of a material when it is held under a load less than its tensile strength for a period of time)
• Rope made of Kevlar has excellent chemical resistance and heat resistance
