Abstract
A thin and light webbing having a high strength per warp yarn unit, maintaining abrasion resistance, and using, as a warp yarn, a very strong polyester multifilament yarn for a seat belt made by fine single-yarn fibers. A yarn obtained by performing a twisting process of a high degree of twist is used as a warp yarn. The polyester multifilament yarn of fine single-fibers is essential to be woven at the maximum stretch ratio in a yarn making process to obtain a very-strong polyester fiber for a seat belt. A multifilament yarn and/or a monofilament yarn of polyester is/are used as weft yarns. By making the weft yarns and warp yarns cross each other so as to be woven in a belt like configuration, a webbing having a very high strength per unit of warp yarns, using low-cost base yarns, and maintaining abrasion resistance is obtained.
