PET strapping band, also known as Polyester Strapping, is a durable and high-tensile packaging material made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). It is widely used for bundling, securing, and palletizing heavy loads in industries like logistics, shipping, construction, and manufacturing.
Key Features of PET Strapping Band:
- High Tensile Strength – Stronger than PP (Polypropylene) strapping, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Elastic Recovery – Can stretch slightly under tension and return to its original shape, reducing the risk of breakage.
- Resistant to Moisture & UV – Unlike steel strapping, PET does not rust and performs well in outdoor conditions.
- Lightweight & Flexible – Easier to handle than steel strapping while still providing excellent load stability.
- Eco-Friendly – Recyclable and reusable, making it a sustainable alternative to metal or non-recyclable plastics.
Common Uses:
- Securing construction materials (bricks, steel, lumber)
- Palletizing goods for shipping
- Bundling paper, textiles, and automotive parts
- Replacing steel strapping in corrosion-prone environments
Types of PET Strapping:
- Solid PET Strapping – Smooth surface, general-purpose use.
- Embossed PET Strapping – Textured surface for better grip in high-friction applications.
PET strapping is applied using manual tensioning tools or automated machines and is often sealed with friction welds or metal seals.
