Bally Ribbon Mills Showcases Parachute Webbing Solutions

Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM), a global leader in engineered woven fabrics, is emphasizing its cutting-edge webbing solutions tailored for both aerospace and commercial parachute applications. Known for precision and innovation, BRM’s products are designed to deliver superior strength, durability, and compliance with the most rigorous industry standards.

Manufactured with high-performance fibers such as Nylon, Kevlar®, Vectran®, PTFE, and Zylon®PBO, BRM’s parachute webbings ensure reliability and exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. All webbings are tested to meet PIA-Spec and Mil-Spec military standards, with products such as Nylon Webbing (Mil-W-4088K) and Tubular Nylon Webbing (Mil-W-5625K) fully Berry Amendment compliant.

In its latest development, BRM is advancing woven tapes and webbings using DuPont’s Kevlar® EXO, a next-generation fiber offering improved performance at a more competitive price compared to traditional PBO fibers. Currently under review for parachute use, Kevlar® EXO provides a significant boost in strength-to-weight efficiency for demanding airborne missions.

Designed for extreme conditions, BRM’s parachute webbings feature low pack volume, high energy absorption, and superior abrasion resistance, making them ideal for parachute harnesses, risers, and canopy reinforcements. Their applications extend beyond parachutes to aerospace projects, including rocket launch vehicles, capsule recovery, and NASA-led commercial space initiatives.

BRM’s ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications highlight its commitment to quality, while strict compliance with U.S. federal regulations ensures that its products remain 100% U.S.-sourced and manufactured. With these standards, BRM continues to reinforce its position as a trusted supplier of mission-critical textile solutions.
