Steel Strapping

Types of Strapping

Steel Strapping:

• The strongest of all strapping
• Characteristics: Low elongation, High strength retention
• Seal: Mechanical seals, notch joint seals
• Applications: For use with sharp objects like pallets of brick, where low flexibility is desired. Also, use in applications with extreme heat.
   

Polypropylene Strapping:

• The most commonly used and least expensive strapping
• Characteristics: Lightweight, High elongation, Low retained tension, Easy to apply by hand or by machine, Easy to dispose, Recyclable
• Seal: Buckles, seals, heat seals or welds
• Applications: Light palletizing, bundling, carton closing

Polyester Strapping (PET):

• The most rigid of all strapping that replaces Steel Strapping
• Characteristics: Most rigid, Less elongation than Polypropylene, Long retained tension, Easy to apply by hand or by machine, Easy to recycle
• Seal: Buckles, seals, heat seals or welds
• Applications: Use on heavy duty loads where high tension and strength is needed; Heavy and rigid pallet loads, replacement of steel strapping
