Aerial Silk Emerald

The silks are 100% made of durable polyester. They are produced in Poland and comply with the PN-EN ISO 13934-1:2013-07 standard. The fabric is pleasant to touch. It withstands dynamic loads up to 150-300 kg and static loads up to 1500 kg, which means that at the same time it can be used by two people with a total weight of 200 kg. Aerial silks WLL is up to safety factor:

• BLL = min. 1500kg
• WLL (safety factor 10:1) – 150kg
• WLL (safety factor 7:1) – 214kg
• WLL (safety factor 5:1) – 300kg

Our aerial silks are low (9-14% elasticity), what means the elongation of the silks is about 11%, when you suspend statically 60kg (average weight of user). The extra stretch provides a gentle bounce in drops and enables elongating flexibility-requiring figures and creating stunning shapes. Naturally, the longer you use the silks, the longer and less stretchy they become. This is absolutely normal for all of the fabrics on the market. Many aerialists admit that they like their silks best when they are already in use for some time. 

Examples of elasticity from other suppliers: Unicycle 8-11%, Firetoys 9-14%, Nylon fabrics (4-7%).

Silks from FR-Sports are low-medium stretchy with wide 150 cm (+/- 5 cm), which makes them perfect for cocoon-type and dynamic choreography and looks brilliant in all “sail-type” figures.

Before using, the fabric should be thoroughly checked for any potential tears or cuts. All silks are machine washable (no attached equipment, max 40°C, gentle whirling, no softener) and may be dried on medium/low heat. Store them in a dry place at room temperature, away from sharp objects. With proper use and care, our silks can last up to five years.
