6. The materials from which lashing straps are made have selective
resistance to chemical attacks. Seek the advice of the manufacturer
or supplier if exposure to chemicals is anticipated. It should be noted
that the effects of chemicals may increase with rising temperatures.

- Polyester is affected less by mineral acids but is attacked by alkaline
solutions.

through evaporation that they cause damage. Contaminated lashing
straps should immediately be taken out of use, rinsed in cold water
and dried in the open air.
