Polyester (PET) Strapping
Polyester strapping is a type of packaging material that uses polyester chips and flakes as the main material, by extruded and stretched unidirectionally. It is the most popular new environmentally friendly packaging material that replaces steel straps. Since 2002, the demand for PET strapping has grown at an annual rate of 120%, and is now widely used in industries such as wood, paper, steel, aluminum ingots, glass, building materials, chemical fibers, cotton, etc.
If you are considering using PET Straps instead of PP Straps or steel Straps, here are the benefits of using PET Straps over PP or steel Straps:
- Strong Strength, with both steel strap like tensile resistance and impact resistant ductility, which can ensure the safety of product transportation.
- Small Elongation, only one-sixth of PP strapping, and can maintain tension for a long time.
- Strong Temperature Resistance, melting point of 260 degrees, no deformation when used below 120 degrees.
- Good Safety, without the risk of steel strap rust and contamination of bundled objects, with bright and recognizable colors.
- Low Cost, the length of 1 ton PET strapping is equivalent to 6 tons of steel straps of the same specification, and the unit price per meter is more than 40% lower than steel straps, which can reduce packaging costs.
