Polyester Strapping

Posted on by Cole Harrup

FROMM’s STARstrap™ Solution: The Polyester Strapping Solution of the Future

Polyester strapping is a highly durable and versatile material used for securing various types of loads. Known for its strength and resilience, it is essential in industries such as logistics, construction, and manufacturing, where the safe transportation and storage of goods are critical.

Polyester strapping is a synthetic material made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is designed to withstand high levels of tension, making it an ideal choice for securing heavy and unstable loads. Compared to other strap materials like steel or polypropylene, polyester strapping offers a balance of strength, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.

 

Polyester strapping is widely used across several industries for a variety of functions:

  1. Logistics and Shipping: Ensuring the safe transport of goods, preventing movement and damage during transit.
  2. Construction: Securing large bundles of building materials such as timber, bricks, and metal rods.
  3. Manufacturing: Bundling products on pallets for storage and shipment.
  4. Agriculture: Binding large bales of hay or other agricultural products.

The importance of polyester strapping lies in its ability to provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for load securing. Its high break strength, excellent elongation recovery, and resistance to UV damage make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Furthermore, it is recyclable, adding an environmental benefit to its extensive list of advantages.
