Plastic Strapping Materials
Polypropylene Strapping - Currently Most Common
Polypropylene strapping begins with a common plastic, Polypropylene as the raw material. Plastic pellets, both virgin and reprocessed material is extruded into a band or sheet. In carefully controlled conditions, the material is heated, stretched, and relaxed, yielding a finished product that is as much as 7 times stronger than the basic raw material. Used in various packaging and bundling operations, polypropylene can be applied by hand (without tools), with hand tools, both powered and manual, and with automatic machines.
Common industries for Polypropylene
- Publishing
- Meat
- Seafood
- Agricultural products
- General warehousing and packaging
High Performance Polyester Strapping – Second Most Popular Plastic Strapping
Made by and marketed as PAC Strapping Products in Polyester strapping. While the process is similar, the manufacturing begins with polyester resin, primarily reprocessed, and yields a finished product that is both extremely strong and will hold tension better than polypropylene. Because of its strength and durability, polyester strapping has often used a replacement for steel strapping in many industries.
Common applications for Polyester Strapping
- Lumber, Bricks, Blocks
- Paver stone
- Drywall
- Timber
- Glass bottles and cans
- Heavy duty palletizing
Where appropriate, switching from steel banding to polyester is safer, more cost-effective and improves performance. Applications of polyester are comparable to polypropylene.
Cord Strapping
PAC manufactures cord strapping, also under its own brand in regular and heavy duty sizes. In the manufacture of cord strapping, polyester fibers are bound together, either using some form of adhesive, or in a weaving process on a loom. The result is a strapping product that is very easy to apply, yielding the same ultimate characteristics of high breaking strengths and superior retained tension as extruded polyester strapping. Cord strapping is almost exclusively applied and tensioned by hand.
