It can be difficult to choose dog collars or dog leashes. It is hard to know what material works best and whether you should be getting; the dog collar with the nylon or one with polypropylene webbing. Each of these materials are very different, but they have similarities as well.

Both are beneficial for dog collars and harnesses. There are advantages to both materials. Here are a few differences between the two.

Nylon webbing is much more dependable than polypropylene webbing. Why? It is because of strength. Nylon webbing is much stronger than polypropylene webbing. Nylon webbing has a tensile strength of 4,200 to 5,500 pound per 1-inch width, while polypropylene only has a tensile strength of 600 pounds per inch.

Nylon webbing is also very durable. Nylon will be able to withstand a lot of abrasion. It has a melting point of 300 degrees.

Most fabric-covered homemade and designer dog collars out there are made from nylon webbing, not polypropylene webbing. Nylon webbing is also a popular choice for dog leashes. Nylon webbing allows dogs and dog owners to feel secure because of the strength nylon has to offer.Polypro webbing

Polypropylene webbing is not as strong as nylon webbing, but it has other strengths that make it a good choice. It is just as durable as the nylon webbing. It is waterproof, mildew and UV resistant, and also melts at 300 degrees just like nylon webbing.

Some advantages that polypropylene has on nylon webbing is that is less expensive. It is also stretchier and floats in water. Polypropylene webbing also holds up better under alkaline and acid.

Both nylon and polypropylene webbing are used in more ways than just as dog collars. Nylon webbing, in particular, is used a lot with boat rigging, luggage straps and climbing harnesses. Nylon is often used more because of its superior strength.
