Polypropylene Webbing Tape No 19
The lightest webbing in common use, dope dyed for colour that cannot wash out and priced for high volume assembly.
What This Item Is
Polypropylene Webbing Tape No 19 is built around your specification rather than around what happens to be on the shelf. Any width, and a thickness from 0.65 mm up to 2.5 mm unless you need something outside that. Shade is agreed on a woven sample before the bulk lot runs, and that lot covers the entire order. Samples take 3 to 7 days and production 7 to 15 days once the sample is approved.
Key Benefits
- OEM and private label work is the normal order here, not an exception
- Density of 0.90 to 0.92 g per cubic centimetre, the lightest of all chemical fibres
- Equal strength wet and dry, which is why the fibre is used for fishing net and cable
- Resilience comparable to nylon and wool, well above polyester and viscose
- Naturally resistant to microbial attack and immune to wormhole damage
Problems It Solves
- Chemical exposure that degrades ordinary webbing on the line
- Shade that drifts between the approved sample and the delivered rolls
- Suppliers who quote a price without committing to a date
Who It Is For
- Production planners who need a delivery date quoted with the price
- Bag and case factories controlling shipped weight per unit
- Packaging and strapping converters buying by the tonne
Application Scenarios
- Garden furniture and deckchair webbing
- Low cost lanyards and promotional straps
- Cargo and luggage tie-downs
- Tote and shopping bag handles
Technical Features
- SGS testing available before despatch
- Sample lead time of 3 to 7 days
- Production lead time of 7 to 15 days
- Density of 0.90 to 0.92 g per cubic centimetre, the lightest of all chemical fibres

Materials
- Polypropylene filament, dope dyed with pigment added to the melt
- Anti-ageing agent added at spinning where the strap will live outdoors
- Fine denier polypropylene where wicking and fast drying matter
Quality Control
- Heat setting held well below the 165 to 173 degree melting range to protect the hand
- Tensile checked on the finished tape rather than on the yarn alone
- Pigment lot recorded against your order so a repeat matches the first run
- SGS testing arranged on request before shipment
What You Can Change
- Dope dyed colour matched to a Pantone reference
- Computer jacquard logo or post-weave silk screen printing
- Soft or firm hand set during finishing
- Bulk packing to your carton and roll specification
How This Item Is Made
- Pigment selection and melt dyeing
- Filament spinning and drawing
- Warping and weaving
- Controlled heat setting below the melt point
- Width and tensile check
- Rolling, measuring and packing
How It Compares
Polypropylene saves roughly 30 per cent of the weight and costs less, but its melting point is only 165 to 173 degrees Celsius and its light and heat ageing resistance is poorer. Choose polyester where the strap lives in sunlight.
Polypropylene will not mildew and dries almost instantly, which cotton cannot do. Cotton still wins where a natural hand or later garment dyeing is required.
Polypropylene is 20 per cent lighter and far cheaper, with similar wet strength. Nylon has the better abrasion life and takes conventional dye.
Use Guide
- For light shell fabrics ask for dope dyed rather than surface dyed tape
- Do not iron or hot press the tape; the fibre softens close to 165 degrees Celsius
- Specify an anti-ageing additive when the strap will be permanently outdoors
- Expect some static during cutting and sewing and earth your equipment accordingly

Questions Buyers Ask About Polypropylene Webbing Tape No 19
Is polypropylene webbing strong enough for load bearing straps
Its strength is similar to polyester and nylon and it is the same wet as dry, which is why the fibre is used for fishing net and cable. Dimensional stability is the weaker point, so we do not recommend it where a fixed length under tension is critical.
How much lighter is polypropylene webbing than polyester
About 30 per cent. Polypropylene sits at 0.90 to 0.92 grams per cubic centimetre against polyester at roughly 1.38 to 1.40, which is why it is the lightest fibre in general textile use.
Can our logo be added to this tape
Either woven in with a computer jacquard plate, which survives washing and abrasion, or screen printed after weaving, which costs less to set up on short runs.
How is this item packed for export
50 yards per roll and 30 rolls per carton as standard, with some items on 500 yard rolls. We pack to your own list when you have one.
Which shipping and payment terms do you work on
EXW, FOB or CIF for shipping. Payment by T/T, Western Union or PayPal.
