This is a newer  treatment that is ecologically friendlier than using Merlon.  It also results in a medium stiffness that is easier to sew.  This is for use primarily in the lighter weight tapes, such as  3 ⁄ 4 " Ty-3. Recently some harness/container manufacturers  have begun to replace  3 ⁄ 4" Ty-3 binding tape with  7 ⁄8 " Ty-3  because modern container designs are getting thicker with  the application of more stiffeners and more padding. There  are pros and cons to this trend. While many webbings and tapes have the same specifications,  they still have different designations. The difference is a  common rule of thumb where anything 1 inch or wider and  over 1000-lb strength is webbing. Anything less is a tape. There  are, however, some examples that fall outside of this criterion. The primary use for webbing is for load bearing purposes,  such as harnesses and risers. Tapes are for use as support and  reinforcing for canopies and containers. Most webbing and  tapes, when manufactured, are left in their natural, untreated  condition (condition U), or treated with a synthetic resin  3-3
