Bally Ribbon Mills
Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM), a designer, developer, and manufacturer of highly specialized engineered woven fabrics, has highlighted its high-performance Kevlar webbing and tapes engineered to meet the stringent Mil-T-87130 military specification. The company says the products are designed to deliver exceptional strength, durability, and reliability across a wide range of military and industrial applications.
Manufactured from Kevlar heat-resistant synthetic fibers, the webbing offers outstanding tensile strength and toughness while providing excellent resistance to cuts, tears, and punctures. These characteristics enable the material to perform reliably in demanding environments where equipment durability and personnel safety are critical.
Despite its high strength, BRM’s Kevlar webbing remains lightweight and flexible, making it easier to integrate into military equipment without adding unnecessary weight. The combination of strength and reduced weight helps improve mobility for military personnel while supporting a variety of applications, including parachute reinforcement, load-bearing systems, tactical equipment, and personal protective gear.
A key advantage of the Kevlar webbing is its exceptional resistance to heat and flame. The material maintains its structural integrity under high-temperature conditions and is inherently flame resistant, meaning it will not burn, melt, or drip when exposed to fire. These properties make it particularly suitable for firefighting equipment, fall protection harnesses, and other safety-critical applications where thermal protection is essential.
