The Tracpac Kevlar® shock-absorbing lanyard is designed for use by industrial and commercial welders who work at heights and offers an exceptionally long life under working conditions that would normally destroy a polyester or nylon equivalent in just weeks. The Kevlar® and Technora fibers have exceptional high heat resistant properties that repel welding spatter and offer die electric advantages when confronted with arc flash hazard. With extremely high-abrasion resistance and the ability to withstand flame and heat, the Tracpac Kevlar® shock-absorbing lanyard will far outlast polyester or nylon and result in an economic benefit.
The Tracpac Kevlar® shock-absorbing lanyard is composed of a shock absorber to which a 13⁄4 in. (45 mm) Kevlar lanyard is attached. The shock absorber is covered with a tubular Nomex sleeve.
When a fall occurs, the sudden stop caused by the fall arrest system submits the human body to a high impact force (the longer the free fall distance, the greater the force).
The purpose of the shock absorber is to lower the impact force experienced in a fall by dissipating the kinetic energy and controlling deceleration. The shock-absorbing device is made of a specially woven webbing that ellongates through tearing on its weave and stitching. This action limits the impact force to less than 900 lbs. (4 kN).
