Aerial Silk fabric

This range of Aerial Silks has unique qualities of strength and reliability. (Breaking at 1800 kg).

 

Thanks to their dual weft interlock Jersey construction and their appropriate thickness, these fabrics offer an excellent grip and a very good aging.

The strength and durability of Aerial Tissues are on of the essential safety
criteria of the apparatus. Many fabrics are present on the market but all do not have the qualities to be used as acrobatic equipment.

This is why it is essential to use only fabrics certified for acrobatic use and whose resistance is guaranteed by the manufacturer.

In accordance with the recommendations of the Circus Schools Federations
and the technical guidance "Circus Apparatus, Design and Manufacturing" :

The fabrics of this range offer an exceptional resistance of 1800 daN (kg) for a conventional installation of two strands on a hanger of at least Ø 40 mm.
Reminder : The use of a suitable Silk Hanger doubles the resistance of the fabric compared to the use of a Pear ring or a Rescue 8
descender.
