Polyester is seriously degraded at temperatures
above 200° F.
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light adversely
affects polyester. Slings become bleached and stiff
when exposed to sunlight or arc welding.
Many chemicals have an adverse effect on polyester.

WarninG! all slings should be inspected for
damage prior to each use to assure that their strength
has not been compromised.
the DaMaGe What to Look For to preVent
Surface and edge Cuts - It is important to realize
that all of the fibers in web slings contribute to
the strength of that sling. When there have been
a significant number of fibers broken in a web
sling, that sling should be taken out of service.
Broken fibers of equal length indicate that
the sling has been cut by an edge. red core
warning yarns may or may not be visible with
cuts and are not required to show before
removing slings from service.
Use wear pads between the sling and
all edges that come in contact with the
sling.
holes/Snags/pulls punctures or areas where fibers stand out from
the rest of the sling surface.
Avoid sling contact with protrusions,
both during lifts and while transporting
or storing.
abrasion Areas of the sling that look and feel fuzzy
indicate that the fibers have been broken
by being subject to contact and movement
against a rough surface. Affected areas are
usually stained.
Never drag slings along the ground.
Never pull slings from under loads that
are resting on the sling. Use wear pads
between slings and rough surface
loads.
heat/Chemical Melted or charred fibers anywhere along
the sling. Heat and chemical damage can
look similar and they both have the effect of
damaging sling fibers and compromising the
slings strength. Look for discoloration and/
or fibers that have been fused together and
often feel hard or crunchy.
Never use polyester slings where they
can been exposed to temperatures
in excess of 200° F. Never use nylon
or polyester slings in or around
chemicals without confirming that the
sling material is compatible with the
chemicals being used.
