It is important to know the materials used for Safety Harnesses that you and/or your employees may use. For this reason, in our tip today you can check the raw material in the composition of some models of Hércules Safety Harnesses.
Laces: Polyester, polyamide and/or para-aramid.
Buckles/loops: Steel, stainless steel, aluminum or coated steel (dielectric)
Cushion: E.V.A. for lumbar and thigh comfort.
Comments:
Since Safety Harnesses are composed of synthetic textile materials (polyester, polyamide and para-aramid), frequent exposure to UV rays may reduce their useful life. It is recommended to store them in dry places without the incidence of UV rays;
It is recommended to avoid abrasion, cutting and perforation on the textile components of the Safety Belt;
Contact of the textile fibers with chemical agents may reduce the product’s useful life. It is recommended to sanitize with mild soap;
Para-aramid Safety Harnesses cannot come into contact with chlorine;
In high-temperature environments or welding activities, the use of para-aramid Safety Harnesses is recommended. The polyester in high-temperature environments or in contact with welding suffers loss of resistance;
In saline environments (near the sea) we recommend the use of Safety Harnesses with metallic components made of stainless steel or coated steel (dielectric);
If there is a chance that the Safety Harness will have contact with specific chemical agents, we recommend contacting the manufacturer to verify the indicated Safety Harness model for this activity.
