PARALOOP® straps are highly resistant to seawater and have low elongation at working loads. Strong, tough, durable and flexible, they have outstanding corrosion and chemical resistance. PARALOOP® straps are manufactured from PARAWEB® webbing; synthetic fibres inside a polymeric sheath.
Aramid fibres are typically used to give a higher modulus. The polymeric sheath is usually an EVA co-polymer, which is more flexible and stress-crack resistant, or a polyester elastomer if higher resistance to heat and abrasion is required.
PARALOOP® straps are made to suit specific customer requirements. Variations in strength, width, physical properties and durability can all be met. Combinations of fibre and sheath types can be varied to ensure PARALOOP® straps meet individual project specifications.
PARALOOP® straps are manufactured from PARAWEB® webbing. PARAWEB® consists of discrete channels of parallel high strength fibres encased in a polymeric outer sheath.
PARALOOP® straps are produced by bonding layers of PARAWEB® webbing together to form a continuous loop.
