Cotton normally has the lowest breaking strength while polyester has the highest. This stretch-ability occurs because nylon absorbs a small amount of water while polyester does not absorb any. Each type of webbing brings its own strengths and limitations, directly impacting the performance and durability of end products such as belts, sporting Polyester offers superior temperature resistance to severe heat and fire well surpassing all DOT, SFI, and FIA standards UV retention – the chart above shows the results of a military test of webbing exposed to sun over 30 months.
