Bally Ribbon offers woven materials for critical rigging, tie-down use

Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM, Bally, Pa., U.S.) announces the availability of a wide range of lightweight 2D and 3D woven materials that serve as the structure or substrate for critical rigging and tie-down applications that require strength, interlaminar shear, enduring resistance or conductivity.

Recent examples include specialized materials for load securement/stabilization equipment, chafing sleeves used for lifting and sling materials for safe load transfer at cargo control facilities, as well as webbing used to safely move chip manufacturing equipment around factories. BRM rigging and tie-down webbing is also used as a sling in an actuator/drum serving as the strength tendon of a robotic arm used in a loading device being designed for a lunar habitat.

BRM custom designs specialty applications with high strength-to-weight ratios, flame/heat resistance, flexibility, low elongation and abrasion resistance. Available in 1-6" widths, BRM rigging and tie-down materials are manufactured using high-performance fibers like Kevlar, Vectran, Technora, Spectra and Dyneema.
