Strapping Characteristics
Polypropylene Strapping is economical, lightweight, and quick to apply. The
embossed surface strengthens the strap dimensionally and allows for the use of
inexpensive non-scored seals. The industry standard for bundling corrugated
boxes, printed materials, and boxed foodstuffs, polypropylene strapping is also
ideal for many other light to medium duty, bundling, unitizing, and palletizing
applications.
Polyester Strapping offers the greatest strength, rigidity, and retained
tension of all plastic strapping. Smooth, weatherproof polyester won't rust or
stain products, is 80% lighter than steel strapping, and uses sturdy, scored
seals. Great for heavier-duty applications like bundling lumber or building
materials, and rigid palletizing.
Steel Strapping is the strongest of all strapping materials. Recommended
when high strength and shock resistance are essential. Commonly used to bundle
and palletize structural steel, building stone, and rail car shipments. Steel's
strength and durability are ideal for dealing with heavy, sharp, or hot
materials.
