Cost-Saving PET Strapping – Stronger Than Steel, Lighter Than PP
Save on shipping costs with our high-performance PET strapping! It combines the strength of steel with the lightweight advantage of polypropylene, reducing freight expenses. Resistant to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, it’s perfect for long-distance shipping and harsh environments. Upgrade your packaging with a reliable, economical solution today!
PET Strapping Band – Technical Specifications
1. Material:
- Polyester (PET) – High tensile strength, excellent durability, and recyclable.
2. Key Features:
- High break strength & elongation recovery
- Resistant to UV, moisture, and chemicals
- Lightweight yet stronger than PP (Polypropylene) strapping
- Smooth edges to prevent product damage
- Low memory effect (resists curling)
- Works with manual tools & automatic strapping machines
3. Standard Sizes (Width x Thickness):
| Width (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Breaking Strength (kN) | Elongation at Break (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.5 | 0.50 – 0.80 | 2.0 – 4.5 kN | 10 – 15% |
| 12 | 0.60 – 1.00 | 3.0 – 6.0 kN | 10 – 15% |
| 15 | 0.70 – 1.20 | 4.0 – 8.0 kN | 10 – 15% |
| 19 | 0.80 – 1.50 | 6.0 – 12.0 kN | 10 – 15% |
| 25 | 1.00 – 2.00 | 8.0 – 20.0 kN | 10 – 15% |
(Note: Custom sizes available upon request.)
4. Temperature Resistance:
- Operating Range: -40°C to +80°C (-40°F to +176°F)
- Retains flexibility in cold conditions & resists heat deformation.
5. Tensile Strength Comparison:
- PET Strapping: 2.0 – 20.0 kN (depending on size)
- PP Strapping: 1.0 – 5.0 kN
- Steel Strapping: 10.0 – 30.0 kN (but heavier and prone to rust)
6. Recommended Applications:
✔ Pallet bundling & unitizing
✔ Heavy-load securing (construction, bricks, metals)
✔ Logistics & warehousing
✔ Export packaging (moisture-resistant)
✔ Recycling & waste compaction
7. Packaging Options:
- Coil length: 500m, 1000m, or custom lengths
- Spool/roll weight: 5kg, 10kg, 20kg, etc.
- Color: Standard (black, green, transparent) or custom colors
8. Compatibility:
- Tools: Manual tensioners, sealers, and automatic strapping machines
- Seals: Compatible with PET-specific seals (clips or friction weld)
9. Certifications (if applicable):
- ISO 9001, RoHS, REACH compliant
- Recyclable & eco-friendly
Why Choose PET Strapping Over PP or Steel?
✅ Stronger than PP – Higher tensile strength for heavy loads.
✅ Lighter than steel – Reduces shipping costs.
✅ No rust or corrosion – Ideal for humid or wet environments.
✅ Eco-friendly – 100% recyclable, lower carbon footprint.
