Types of Polyester Strapping

According to the Surface Condition of Plastic Strapping Tape:
1. Embossed polyester strapping tape
The embossed surface increases the friction of the strapping tape, thereby reducing slippage.

2. Smooth PET strapping tape
The smooth surface makes the plastic strapping tape stronger and suitable for carrying heavier loads.

Smooth surface strapping tape has higher tensile strength than embossed surface strapping tape.

According to the Surface Color of the Strapping Tape:
Polyester strapping tape in green, black and various colors.

According to the Tensile Strength of Polyester Strapping Tape:
1. The Chinese domestic market divides PET strapping tape into: H grade, M grade, L grade
2. The international market divides PET strapping tape into: ordinary grade, heavy duty and extra heavy duty.

Regular duty: The tensile strength of this grade is usually around 600 to 900 pounds (270 kg to 410 kg). Suitable for light to medium applications.

 

Heavy duty: Heavy duty polyester strapping tape has a higher tensile strength, usually 900 pounds to 1,500 pounds (410 kg to 680 kg). It is designed for demanding applications that require extra strength and durability.

 

Extra Heavy Duty: This grade of polyester strapping has a higher tensile strength, typically 1,500 lbs to 2,500 lbs (680 kg to 1,130 kg). It is ideal for securing heavy objects or applications that require extreme strength.

 

Applications of Polyester Strapping

 

 

Polyester (PET) strapping, commonly known as polyethylene strapping, has a wide range of applications and is highly practical, providing versatile solutions in a variety of industrial scenarios:

Pallet Strapping
Polyethylene strapping is invaluable in the field of pallet securing, providing a strong and reliable method for strapping pallets for both safe transportation and safe storage. Whether in the warehouse or during transportation, polyethylene strapping ensures the integrity of palletized cargo.

 

Heavy Duty Strapping
When faced with the challenge of securing heavy and bulky items, polyethylene strapping is the ideal solution. Its inherent strength and durability make it a top choice for strapping items that require a higher load capacity.

 

Buckle Strapping
Buckle polyethylene strapping is a dynamic and versatile method of load securing. By ensuring a strong and reliable connection for a variety of loads, this method adds an extra layer of security, especially when load stability is critical.

In each application, polyester strapping has demonstrated its adaptability and reliability, becoming an essential component of industry equipment that handles a variety of loads. From palletized cargo to heavy and bulky items, and even situations where a secure connection with buckles is required, polyester (PET) strapping proves its versatility as a load securing method.

 

How to Use Polyester Strapping
 

Choose the right strapping First, we need to choose the right strapping according to the size, weight and characteristics of the object being strapped. Generally speaking, strapping is available in different widths and thicknesses. For heavier items, wider and thicker strapping should be selected to ensure its load-bearing capacity.

 

Wrap the strapping object Next, wrap the strapping around the object to be strapped. During the wrapping process, make sure that the strapping fits the object tightly and maintains the appropriate tension to avoid being too loose or too tight. Too loose may cause the object to slide or fall apart during transportation, and too tight may damage the object or break the strapping.

 

Fasten the buckle After the strapping is wrapped around the object, insert the end of it into the buckle. The buckle is usually a small device with a locking mechanism that can firmly fix the strapping. After inserting the end, press the buckle hard to ensure that it is locked. At this point, the strapping is tightly fixed to the object.

 

Complete the fixation Finally, check the strapping and buckle to make sure they are tight and there is no looseness. If necessary, you can adjust the tension of the strapping again or re-fasten the buckle. After completing these steps, the strapping has successfully secured the object and can be transported or stored.

 

Polyester strapping production process

 

The entire production process needs to go through the following stages:
Preheating-drying-crystallization
Drying is an important part of polyester strapping production, and all three steps are to dry the raw materials.

 

Extrusion
The pellets or flakes are melted after processing inside the extruder, and the melt is extruded through a multi-channel die head. The extruded strapping starts with a wide extruded sheet.

 

Cooling
The melt is cooled in a water bath until solidified.

 

Stretching
The heated strapping tape is stretched to the required technical properties through a low-speed five-roller-heating furnace-high-speed five-roller. For example, tensile strength and elongation. After stretching, the strapping tape becomes narrower.

 

Embossed
The embossing process can increase the friction on the surface of the polyester strapping tape.

 

Fixed
The strapping tape is reheated, stretched and air-cooled to stabilize the strapping tape and keep it straight.

 

Winding
The polyester strapping tape is fully automatically wound according to the required length.

Polyester strapping, on the other hand, is a heavyweight and strong strapping material. It has a higher breaking strength than polypropylene strapping, making it more suitable for heavy-duty applications that require extra strength.
•UV and Weather Resistance
For outdoor applications, such as securing pallets or bundling products that will be exposed to the sun, UV resistance is very important. Polypropylene strapping is more susceptible to UV rays and will degrade over time when exposed to the sun. Polyester strapping, on the other hand, is UV resistant and can withstand prolonged exposure to the sun without losing its strength and durability. It also withstands weather conditions better, ensuring that your packaging will remain intact even in harsh environments.
•Cost Effectiveness
If cost is a major consideration for your packaging needs, polypropylene strapping is a more cost-effective option. It is generally cheaper than polyester strapping, making it a popular choice for businesses that require large amounts of strapping material. Although more expensive, polyester strapping offers superior strength and durability, making it a worthwhile investment for heavy-duty applications where the risk of breakage is higher.

Q: Which strapping material is suitable for strapping cartons?

A: •Strapping cartons with polypropylene straps
Polypropylene straps are commonly used for strapping cartons because of their affordability and versatility. It provides sufficient strength and security for most carton strapping applications. The smooth texture of polypropylene straps makes it easy to strap and tighten cartons, ensuring they remain securely packed.
•Strapping cartons with polyester straps
Polyester straps can also be used for strapping cartons, especially when heavy-duty strength and durability are required. The high tensile strength of polyester straps ensures that strapped cartons remain securely packed even during high pressure and long-distance transportation.
•Comparison of strapping methods and their impact on packaging
When comparing strapping methods using polypropylene straps and polyester straps, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the packaging. Polypropylene straps are a cost-effective carton strapping option that provide sufficient strength and security. Although more expensive, polyester strapping offers superior strength and durability, ensuring that the strapped cartons remain intact during shipping.

Q: Is polyester strapping recyclable?

A: PET or polyester is short for polyethylene terephthalate and is completely recyclable and can be used to make new products in many industrial sectors such as packaging films and strapping (extruded and woven), for detergents, cosmetics, high-quality carpet fibers, foils, automotive parts, pillow fillings and fabrics for allergy sufferers. Its versatility in many industries makes it very valuable.

Q: What is steel strapping?

A: Steel strapping is the oldest strapping material on the market. You may remember seeing this strapping material on flatbed trucks traveling on the highway, typically used to carry very heavy and large loads. It has high tensile strength and durability, is UV resistant, and is available in a variety of widths and thicknesses to meet almost any application and stress requirement. Steel strapping material is most often used in situations where high strength and minimal stretch are required. Steel strapping material is ideal for transporting extremely heavy and stable loads such as metal sheets and pipes, and can be used in hazardous environments and high temperatures. The disadvantages of steel strapping are that it is heavy, sharp, and difficult to handle, store, and process.

Q: How do you fix stretched polyester?

A: Machine wash polyester clothing in hot water and dry it on high heat to shrink it. Re-wash and dry your garment 2-3 times until it's small enough. For more drastic shrinkage, iron your polyester clothing on medium heat while it's wet. Put a towel between the iron and your garment to protect it.

Q: What are the disadvantages of polypropylene strapping?

A: Polypropylene strapping can have a shiny surface, making it more likely to slip during shipping. It is also less UV-resistant and does not have the same holding tension as polyester strapping.

Q: What are the disadvantages of polyester strapping?

A: Polyester strapping is more expensive than polypropylene strapping and requires a specialized strapping machine to properly tension and seal. However, in certain applications, its advantages often outweigh the cost and equipment requirements.

Q: How is strapping produced?

A: Strapping is made by extruding molten polymer material, such as polypropylene or polyester, through a die to form a continuous flat or embossed sheet. It is then cooled and rolled into rolls for distribution.

Q: How much weight can plastic strapping handle?

A: While steel strapping is the strongest material on the market, polyester strapping is a great alternative. The size and composition of the plastic strapping material determines how strong and how much it can handle, but typical breaking strengths can be as high as 2,200 pounds. Plastic strapping is 80% lighter than steel strapping, making it a better choice for hand strapping products. Machine-grade strapping makes it easier to get large quantities of product out the door while still taking advantage of the low cost of plastic strapping. This type of strapping is a great complement to stretch film, helping to ensure your pallets are secure no matter what happens during transit.

Q: Which strapping is best for my needs?

A: The best strapping for your needs depends on several factors, including the weight and type of load, the conditions of transportation, and the level of strength and durability required. It is recommended to consult with a strapping expert to determine the most appropriate option.

Q: How do polypropylene and polyester strapping differ in terms of width and thickness?

A: •Width Options for Polypropylene Straps
Polypropylene strapping is available in a wide range of widths, from 6mm to 32mm. The choice of width depends on the weight and size of the product being packaged. Thinner widths are suitable for lighter loads, while wider widths are suitable for heavier loads that require added strength and stability.
•Thickness Options for Polyester Straps
Polyester strapping is available in different thicknesses, ranging from 0.5mm to 1.5mm. Thicker straps offer greater strength and resistance to breaking, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications. Thinner straps, while not as strong, still provide adequate packaging security for lighter loads.
•Choosing the Right Strap Width and Thickness for Different Applications
When choosing the right strap width and thickness, it is important to consider the weight and size of the product being packaged. Heavier and larger products require wider and thicker straps to ensure proper stability and security during transport. On the other hand, lighter, smaller products can be securely packaged with narrower, thinner straps.

Q: How to tell the quality of plastic strapping?

A: Plastic strapping is a common packaging and shipping material. When evaluating plastic strapping grades, consider the following:
Tensile strength: This is the maximum force the strapping can withstand before breaking. The stronger the strapping, the greater the tensile strength. For applications that require large forces, look for strapping with high tensile strength. Elongation refers to the ability of the strapping to stretch without breaking. Strapping with high elongation can withstand shipping shocks or impacts without breaking. However, strapping with high elongation may not be suitable for applications that require high tension.
Width and thickness: The width and thickness of the strapping can affect its strength and durability. Generally speaking, thicker and wider strapping is stronger and more durable.
Surface texture: The texture on the outside of the strapping can affect its ability to adhere to a surface and secure packages. Strapping with a smooth surface may be more likely to slip, while strapping with a rough surface may have a stronger grip.
Color: Although the color of the strapping may not affect its strength, it can be used to identify the contents of a container or to differentiate between cargo.
Roll Size: The size of the roll affects the amount of strapping required for a specific task and its manageability. Consider purchasing rolls that are easily manageable and long enough to meet your requirements.
Finally, the reputation and reliability of the brand and supplier must be considered. Consider manufacturers and suppliers with a history of providing high-quality strapping and excellent customer service.
By considering these factors, you can more accurately assess the quality of polyethylene strapping and choose the product that best suits your requirements.

Q: What is strapping?

A: After sealing the carton with tape, strapping can be used to completely secure it, even if the carton is strong. Strapping completely wraps the package and glues or welds the seams together to provide a strong seal that is not easy to break. Strapping can be easily used regardless of the size of the package, from standard-sized cartons to large export boxes and pallets. Strapping is particularly useful when securing several cartons together - which are then considered one package, reducing shipping costs. Strapping is also great for large and heavy items that require a stronger tape than ordinary packaging tape to securely secure.

Q: How to choose between strapping machines and manual strapping?

A: Strapping can be done manually using a strapping tool, or you can use a strapping machine for fast and efficient strapping. If you use a strapping machine, there is no need for additional tools or seals to secure the strapping, the machine automatically friction welds the strapping to the seal.
For manual strapping, equipment is needed to create tension in the strapping and seal it securely. For businesses that ship products of varying shapes and sizes, a tensioning tool combined with a sealing tool and seal will complete the packaging process, and the convenient feature of using it vertically means you can reposition yourself for bulky loads. Combination strapping tools streamline the process, combining the tensioner and sealer into one tool, making packaging simple by simply using it horizontally to secure products of the same size and shape, a seal is also required. Manual strapping machines are ideal for a variety of packaging; they accommodate different sizes and product variations, are highly mobile, and can be used both vertically and horizontally.
For packaging lines that need to strap a large number of packages, strapping machines are highly recommended. Semi-automatic and automatic strapping machines are available, with high-performance automatic machines producing up to 65 straps per minute. They greatly speed up the strapping process by automatically tensioning and sealing the straps, reducing the time required to seal the boxes.

Q: How is plastic strapping made?

A: Commercial PP and PET strapping is made using one of two extrusion processes. Multistrand extruded strapping is the most common type and is extruded individually through a multi-opening die, then heated, stretched, annealed, cooled, and coiled. Stretching aligns the polymer chains in the plastic along its length, increasing the tensile strength of the strands and making it an effective packaging material. Sheet extruded strapping starts with a wide extruded sheet that is oriented along its length and width and then cut to its final width. Its tensile strength is lower than similarly sized strand extruded strapping, but other properties may make it a good choice for operation in certain older machine designs. Strapping surfaces can be embossed or smooth. Embossing is the most common type of pattern imprinted on the strapping surface. It improves strapping performance by increasing stiffness and reducing surface friction, which improves machine feeding and can increase weld strength. Smooth strapping surfaces often have lubricants added to improve feeding and welding reliability. Wound on paper cores, lengths vary from a few thousand feet to over 25,000 feet per roll, depending on the size and type of tape. Typical roll weights are around 30 pounds for polypropylene tape and 50 pounds for polyester tape. However, this can vary depending on the strength of the tape and the length of the roll.

Q: What is plastic tape made of?

A: Plastic tape is primarily made from one of two different plastic resins: polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET). Nylon is another option, but is less common these days. Polypropylene tape is typically made from virgin resin or a virgin/recycled resin blend, depending on the qualities required for the intended use of the tape.
