Polyester Webbing Tape No 6
Dimensionally stable polyester tape for straps that must hold their shape, their colour and their rated load outdoors.
What This Item Is
Polyester Webbing Tape No 6 is woven, dyed and packed in one mill, which is why the specification does not drift between steps. We weave it between 0.65 mm and 2.5 mm thick, with the width taken from whatever you send us. You approve the colour on woven material rather than on a screen, and the reserved dye lot keeps it that way. Sampling runs 3 to 7 days; the production window is 7 to 15 days from approval.
Key Benefits
- Light resistance second only to acrylic among common fibres
- Softening point of 230 to 240 degrees Celsius, melting at 255 to 265
- Smooth near-round filament cross section for a clean even face
- Pantone matched dyeing with the reference agreed before weaving starts
- Thickness woven from 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm against your own drawing
Problems It Solves
- Width variation that stops hardware sliding cleanly on the finished strap
- Repeat orders that no longer match the original because nothing was archived
- Branding that wears off a component long before the product does
Who It Is For
- Harness and lanyard assemblers who need repeatable width and thickness
- Automotive interior suppliers fitting trim, pulls and retention straps
- Outdoor brands whose product sits in sunlight on a retail rack
Application Scenarios
- Pet collars and leads that get washed regularly
- Automotive interior pulls and retention loops
- Furniture and upholstery support webbing
- Backpack shoulder straps and sternum straps
Technical Features
- Computer jacquard logo weaving on the same construction
- Eco-friendly non-toxic yarns across the material range
- Roll length and carton count set to your packing list

How It Compares
Polyester holds its length and colour far better outdoors. Polypropylene is lighter and cheaper but its melting point is only 165 to 173 degrees Celsius and it ages faster in light.
Polyester is stronger wet than dry cotton and does not mildew. Cotton wins on hand feel and on anything that will be dyed or printed by the customer later.
Nylon takes up around 4 per cent moisture against polyester's 0.4 per cent, so nylon straps go heavy and stretch in the wet while polyester holds.
Use Guide
- Ask for the sample roll before the bulk dye lot is committed
- Keep finished rolls out of direct light during storage to avoid yellowing
- Specify roll length to match your cutting table so you waste less tail
- Send the width, thickness and a colour reference; a Pantone number is faster than a description

Questions Buyers Ask About Polyester Webbing Tape No 6
Will the colour fade in sunlight
Polyester has light resistance second only to acrylic among common fibres. After 600 hours of sun exposure the strength loss is around 60 per cent, comparable to cotton, and shade holds better than on most dyed synthetics.
Can you match a Pantone number exactly
We match to Pantone or to a physical swatch you post to us, and we send a woven sample for written approval before the bulk dye lot runs. Approving the woven sample rather than a screen image is what removes most colour disputes.
Can you supply a test report
SGS testing is arranged on request before shipment. Tell us at quotation stage which properties need to be reported.
Will a repeat order match this one
Yes, provided you quote the same order reference. The colour reference and any jacquard plate stay on file here for exactly that reason.
Do you weave to a drawing
That is the normal case. Width and thickness come from your specification rather than from a standard size list.
