Polypropylene Strapping (PP Strap) is the most common used plastic strapping. The later developed Strap PET is
of a better quality but this is also noticeable
in the price. PP Strap meets the required
properties, such as tensile strength, elasticity and tension loss for many applications without failure.
Characteristics:
– Typically embossed, feels more like plastic, and has a matte-style finish.
Applications:
– Can be used for fixing loads to pallets or bundling items for shipping.
– Bundling newspapers, timber and pipes, Sealing and securing cartons, Attaching loads to pallets, Bailing agricultural products, Bailing textiles, Sealing coils of steel or rolls of paper.
* Manual (Hand) / Semi-automatic / Automatic ” Available in a wide range of widths, colours and thickness.
PET Strapping (Polyester) is often used where formerly steel strap was applied. This is due to some very good
properties of PET Strap. Not only is this strap
very strong due to its high tensile and tear resistance, but also very elastic so that the reduction of the size can be accommodated. It is resistant to shocks and bumps.
Characteristics:
– Typically a glossy, smooth strap.
Applications:
– Can be utilized from the lightest applications up to the most demanding heavy cold applications in the aluminium and steel industry.
– Timber, constructions, cans, metals, corrugated etc..

” Available in a wide range of widths, colours and thickness.
The strongest and highest tensile strength strapping available. It is available in a variety of widths and thickness, as well as variations in the grade of steel. Steel strapping is used for heavy duty holding where high strength and minimal stretch are desired.
Characteristics:
– Hot Temperature, Sharp Edges, High Break Strength
– Low Elongation Capabilities, UV Resistant, Extreme Durability
Applications:
– Steel strapping is optimal for packaging industrial equipment, heavy construction materials, and shipping steel coils. ” Available in a wide range of widths and thickness.
Woven Strapping (Poly-Woven) is a safe alternative to heavy-duty steel strapping, wire or applications where polypropylene is inadequate. Made of high tensile, 100% polyester strands woven into a flexible re-tension able product. Re-tensioning is made easy due to the non-slip buckle design. The strapping is UV-resistant (up to six months) and yields very high breaking loads, which makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications.
Characteristics:
– Waterproof through special resin
– Won’t stain or rust like steel strapping
– The soft nature of poly strapping won’t damage the bundle being secured, it is lightweight and much easier to work with and dispose of and it can be printed.
Applications:
– Handles high-breaking loads, No backlash when under tension, cost- efficient due to its reusability, Safer handling as there are no sharp edges
– Versatile: ideal for load securing, bundling, baling, reinforcing and pallet stabilisation for a wide range of industries. ” Available in a wide range of widths and lengths.
