1. Material & Composition
- Base Material: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) – A high-strength polyester plastic.
- Recyclable: Yes, eco-friendly compared to steel or non-recyclable plastics.
2. Physical Properties
Property | Range / Value |
---|---|
Width | 9 mm – 25 mm (Common: 12 mm, 15 mm, 19 mm) |
Thickness | 0.5 mm – 1.2 mm |
Tensile Strength | 200 kg – 1,500 kg (varies by width & thickness) |
Elongation at Break | 2% – 5% (stretches slightly before breaking) |
Working Temperature | -40°C to +80°C (resistant to extreme weather) |
3. Strength & Load Capacity
Width (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Break Strength (kg) | Recommended Load (kg) |
---|---|---|---|
9 mm | 0.5 – 0.7 | 200 – 400 | 100 – 200 |
12 mm | 0.6 – 0.8 | 400 – 700 | 200 – 350 |
15 mm | 0.8 – 1.0 | 700 – 1,000 | 350 – 500 |
19 mm | 1.0 – 1.2 | 1,000 – 1,500 | 500 – 750 |
(Note: Always check manufacturer ratings for exact strength.)
4. Surface Types
- Smooth PET Strapping: General-purpose, good for automated machines.
- Embossed PET Strapping: Textured surface for better grip (ideal for high-friction loads).
5. Color Options
- Standard: Black, Green, Blue, White (UV-resistant colors available).
- Custom printing (for branding or identification).
6. Certifications & Standards
- ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
- ASTM D3950 (Standard for Polyester Strapping)
- ROHS & REACH (Environmental Compliance)
7. Advantages Over Other Strapping Types
✅ Higher strength than PP strapping (2–3x stronger).
✅ Better UV & moisture resistance than steel or PP.
✅ No rusting (unlike steel strapping).
✅ Elastic recovery (absorbs shocks better).
8. Common Applications
- Heavy-duty pallet bundling (construction materials, bricks, metal).
- Shipping & logistics (replaces steel strapping).
- Paper, textiles, and automotive part bundling.
