The Benefits of
REPEL™ Technology Webbing in Fall Protection
REPEL™ Technology Webbing Benefits at a glance
• Uniquely repels water and stains
• High level of abrasion resistance
• Easily cleaned, affording significantly improved hygiene benefits
• Offers reliable protection and improved levels of comfort
• The repelling function is maintained even after numerous washing or cleaning cycles
• Ecologically clean textile finish developed in accordance with the
bluesign® standard
•The leaves of certain plants always stay clean, because dirt
cannot adhere to their finely-structured surfaces and is easily
washed off by rain.
•This natural non-stick and cleaning process, also known as the
self-cleaning effect, is permanently transferred to the webbing
surface by means of nanotechnology.
•The result is REPELTM Technology Webbing - an ecologically
clean textile finish, developed in accordance with the bluesign®
standard.
REPEL™ Technology Webbing Lessons from Nature
•This Nanotechnology is based on the bluesign® standard and guarantees the
highest possible exclusion of substances which are harmful to humans or the
environment and promotes the economical use of resources in manufacturing.

Background: Nano technology
Water or substances such as
oil or dirt simply run off the
REPELTM Technology
Webbing surface, any
residue can easily be rinsed
off with a little water.

A nearly perfect copy of nature
The classic surface:
The contact surface of a water drop or a
particle of dirt with the textile, and therefore the level of adhesion, is very large. As a result, water or dirt adheres to the textile.
The REPELTM surface:
Water drops or particles of dirt lie only on the peaks of the nano particles, and therefore have a lower contact area. Adhesion is significantly reduced, water runs off, dirt is repelled or can be simply rinsed off.

Comparison of a conventional webbing surface with a REPELTM surface
• Water and annoying stains have no chance on textiles
with a REPELTM finish.
• The nanotechnology-based webbing impregnation is characterized by a high level of water resistance, a natural self-cleaning effect and a durable protective function.

Water and stains have no chance
• High level of water resistance
• Naturally self-cleaning
• Durable protective function

REPELTM Advantages
New Technology Provides
Longer Lasting Web
On REPELTM Technology Webbing, water drops, e.g. when it is raining
steadily, run off simply and reliably.
Prevents wicking of water
– Fast drying
– Repels water and other liquids
– Averts dirt particles from penetrating webbing weave preventing premature wear
– Ideal for Live Line applications
REPEL™ Technology Webbing
Repels liquids
Oil, dirt and dust do not adhere to the REPELTM Technology Webbing surface and can be rinsed off with water.
Enhanced Hygiene
– Easy decontamination
– Non saturated webbing avoids mold and odors
– Ideal for Water & Sewerage applications
REPEL™ Technology Webbing
Naturally self-cleaning
REPELTM Technology Webbing is extremely hard wearing.
– Provides up to 5 times more abrasion resistance
– Ideal for heavy duty applications and harsh environments
– Protective function retained even with frequent washing or cleaning
