Polypropylene Webbing Tape No 28
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 28 is made on our own looms in Foshan, cut and rolled to the length your line runs. Thickness runs from 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm, or to your own figure, and width is set by your drawing. Pantone matching is standard, and reserving a single dye lot is what keeps the shade steady from first roll to last. First samples are with you inside a week, with production following in 7 to 15 days.
Key Benefits
- Resilience comparable to nylon and wool, well above polyester and viscose
- Naturally resistant to microbial attack and immune to wormhole damage
- Chemical resistance better than ordinary textile fibres
- Moisture regain under 0.03 per cent, so the tape is quick to wash and quick to dry
- Woven to your width and to a thickness anywhere from 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm
Problems It Solves
- Freight cost driven up by heavy hardware and heavy webbing
- Straps that rot or mildew in damp storage or outdoor use
- Dyed tape that bleeds colour onto a light coloured shell fabric
Who It Is For
- Pet product brands needing tape that washes and dries fast
- Furniture and garden goods assemblers working outdoors
- Factories that buy narrow fabric to a drawing rather than from a catalogue
Application Scenarios
- Tote and shopping bag handles
- Packaging and bundling straps
- Pet leads, harnesses and collars
- Garden furniture and deckchair webbing
Technical Features

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
- Computer jacquard logo or post-weave silk screen printing
- Soft or firm hand set during finishing
- Bulk packing to your carton and roll specification
- Any width to your drawing, thickness 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm
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
- Expect some static during cutting and sewing and earth your equipment accordingly
- 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

Questions Buyers Ask About Polypropylene Webbing Tape No 28
Can polypropylene webbing be dyed after weaving
Not reliably. The fibre has almost no moisture regain, under 0.03 per cent, and is the hardest of the chemical fibres to dye conventionally. We colour it by adding pigment to the melt before spinning, which is why the colour cannot wash out.
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.
What is the minimum order for this item
1000 metres per colour and width on standard production. Some constructions run from 100 metres, so tell us what you need and we will confirm rather than quote a blanket figure.
How quickly can we see a physical sample
3 to 7 days. Production follows in 7 to 15 days once you approve the sample and the colour.
Can you match our colour reference
Yes, to a Pantone number or to a swatch you post to us. You approve a woven sample before the bulk dye lot is committed.
