Abstract: A webbing for use in a fall protection device, such as a self-retracting lifeline having leading edge capabilities, is provided having a double cloth construction with the exterior of the webbing constructed of woven, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene yarns and having stuffer yarns positioned in the interior of the fabric, wherein the stuffer yarns are made of high-tenacity fibers, such as aramid fibers.

Abstract: A webbing for use in a fall protection device, such as a self-retracting lifeline having leading edge capabilities, is provided having a double cloth construction with the exterior of the webbing constructed of woven, UV-resistant, liquid-crystal aromatic polyester yarns and having stuffer yarns positioned in the interior of the fabric, wherein the stuffer yarns are made of high-tenacity fibers, having a melting point of 280° C. or greater. The webbing meets ANSI Standard Z359.14 for leading edge applications, and is arc-flash protective in compliance with ASTM F887.
