UHMWPE Climbing Webbing

Overview

UHMWPE Climbing Webbing (SKU: UW-CL-002) is a high-performance flat webbing woven from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene fiber, engineered for load-critical climbing and alpine applications. The webbing pairs an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio with minimal elongation, delivering dependable load-bearing performance in a low-bulk, lightweight profile. Its tightly woven flat construction resists cutting, abrasion, and cyclic loading, making it a reliable base material for slings, anchors, and technical safety gear.

Key Features & Specifications

• Material and construction: 100% UHMWPE fiber, tightly woven flat webbing with a balanced plain/twill weave for dimensional stability and consistent edge integrity.
• Tensile / breaking strength: Rated at approximately 8,000 lbs (35.6 kN) for the 25mm width and up to 12,000 lbs (53.4 kN) for the 50mm width, with break values verified on calibrated tensile testing equipment.
• Width options: Standard 25mm (1 inch) and 50mm (2 inch); intermediate widths from 10mm to 60mm available on custom order.
• Thickness: 1.2mm to 1.8mm depending on width and specified weave density, allowing a low-profile build that reduces pack bulk.
• Weight: Approximately 22–28 g/m for the 25mm width, offering a strength-to-weight ratio significantly higher than standard nylon or polyester webbing of equivalent width.
• Elongation and abrasion: Low elongation of under 3% at working load for minimal dynamic stretch, combined with high abrasion resistance and strong UV stability for prolonged outdoor exposure. Operating temperature range approximately -40°C to +70°C, with low moisture absorption (under 1%) and resistance to most chemicals and rot.

Applications

• Climbing slings and runners: The low weight and high break strength make UW-CL-002 well suited for sewn or knotted slings used in trad, sport, and alpine climbing, where reducing rack weight without sacrificing strength is a priority.
• Anchor systems and equalization: Its low elongation and dimensional stability support building static anchor systems, cordelette-style rigging, and multi-point equalization where predictable load distribution matters.
• Alpine and mountaineering gear: The compact profile and cold-temperature performance suit glacier travel, crevasse rescue rigging, and expedition equipment operating in sub-zero conditions.
• Rescue and industrial safety: Suitable for technical rescue slings, rigging plates, and load-transfer components where high strength and cut resistance are required in confined or abrasive environments.
• Load-bearing accessories: Used in the manufacture of harness reinforcement, haul-bag straps, tethers, and equipment lanyards that demand strength in a thin, lightweight format.
