One drawback is that plastic carabiners for backpacks and bags have low tensile strength. They can not be seriously overloaded and used in the manufacture of sports climbing equipment. An exception is the fittings made of high-strength polyamide.
Hardware made of polyamide
Duraflex products are characterized by high quality, lightness, wear resistance, Resistant to fracture stresses, temperature extremes, ultraviolet, severe frosts, salt water.
Polyamide 6.6 is a very strong brand. The material contains two components:
- Acetal is a tough, tear-resistant material. It is steady against moisture and amplitude fluctuations of temperatures. The disadvantage is that due to stiffness it does not withstand shock impacts.
- Nylon - is lightweight, highly resistant to impact, but only at normal temperature. 30% stronger than acetal. But it has the property of water absorption, enhancing the fragility of the material at low temperatures.
The advantages and disadvantages of acetal and nylon are mutually overlapping. The material is durable, reliable and at the same time light. Duraflex is not just a carabiner for bags. Plastic, high-quality, durable, it has confidently established itself in extreme conditions and is used with pleasure by tourists.
