Practical information regarding the use and care of lashing straps
–Polyester is affected less by mineral acids but is attacked by alkaline
solutions.
–Harmless acid solutions or alkalis can become so concentrated
through evaporation that they cause damage. Contaminated lashing
straps should immediately be taken out of use, rinsed in cold water
and dried in the open air.
7. This lashing straps are suitable for the following temperature ranges:
––40 °C to +120 °C for Polyester (PES);
These temperature ranges may alter depending on the chemical
environment. In this event, you must seek the advice of the
manufacturer or supplier. A change in the environmental temperature
during transport may affect the forces in the webbing. Check the
lashing force after entering warm regions.
8. Lashing straps must be taken out of use or returned to the
manufacturer for repair if they show any signs of damage. The
following points are considered to be signs of damage:
–for webbing (that must be taken out of use): tears, cuts, nicks and
breaks in load-bearing fibres and stitches; deformations resulting from
exposure to heat.
–with end fittings and tensioning devices: deformations, cracks,
