Steel Strapping Manufacturer

Composite strapping is made from high-tenacity polyester fibers that are embedded in a polymer coating. This combination provides the material with both strength and flexibility, making it a suitable alternative to traditional steel strapping. The key components are:

1. Polyester Fibers: These fibers are high-tenacity, meaning they have high tensile strength, which provides the necessary durability and load-bearing capacity.
2. Polymer Coating: The polyester fibers are encased in a durable polymer coating, typically made from polypropylene. This coating protects the fibers from environmental factors, enhances abrasion resistance, and adds to the overall durability of the strapping​.

This construction allows composite strapping to offer the benefits of steel strapping, such as high strength and reliability, while being lighter, safer to handle, and resistant to weather and corrosion.

Composite strapping can be applicated in Palletizing, Bundling and Securing Heavy Loads, Flat Rack Securing, Transport Application, Machinery and Equipment etc.

1. Bundling and Securing Heavy Loads: Composite strapping is ideal for bundling heavy and bulky items such as construction materials, pipes, and industrial equipment. Its high tensile strength ensures that loads remain secure during transport and handling​

2.Palletizing Goods: It is commonly used for palletizing goods to stabilize and secure products on pallets. This makes it easier to handle and transport multiple items at once, reducing the risk of damage during transit​

3.Flat Rack Securing: Composite strapping is effective for securing goods on flat racks, particularly in shipping containers. It helps prevent movement and damage during transportation by absorbing shocks and impacts​.

4.Transport Applications: The strapping is suitable for securing loads in various modes of transportation, including trucks, railcars, and intermodal containers. Its weather resistance and ability to maintain tension make it reliable for long-distance and harsh environmental conditions​

5. Machinery and Equipment: It is used to secure machinery and equipment during transportation. The strapping’s flexibility and strength ensure that even heavy and irregularly shaped equipment can be safely transported without risk of shifting or damage

To use composite strapping, we usually need wire buckle, strapping tensioner,  metal strapping seals.edge protector, strapping cutter and dispensers.

1. Tensioning Tools:
   • Manual Tensioners: These are handheld devices used to tighten the composite strapping around the load. They come in various models, suitable for different widths and strengths of strapping.
   • Pneumatic Tensioners: These are powered by air compressors and are ideal for heavy-duty applications, providing consistent and high tension with minimal effort​.
2. Buckles:
   • Wire Buckles: These are used to secure the ends of the composite strapping. They are typically made from high-strength steel and designed to provide a strong and reliable connection.
   • Nitrated Buckles: These have a special coating to enhance durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a secure hold in various environmental conditions​.​
3. Seals:
   • Metal Seals: Used in conjunction with a sealing tool, these provide an additional layer of security for the strapping, ensuring that it does not slip or come loose during transit​.
4. Sealing Tools:
   • Manual Sealers: These tools are used to crimp the metal seals around the strapping, locking it in place.
   • Combination Tools: These combine tensioning, sealing, and cutting functions into one tool, streamlining the strapping process​ 
5. Cutters:
   • Strapping Cutters: These are used to cut the composite strapping to the desired length. They are designed to make clean cuts, preventing fraying and ensuring smooth ends for easier handling and sealing
6. Dispensers:
   • Strapping Dispensers: These are used to hold and dispense the strapping smoothly, preventing tangles and making the strapping process more efficient. Dispensers can be portable or stationary, depending on the application needs​ 
7. Edge Protectors:
   • Corner Protectors: These are used to protect the edges of the load from damage by the strapping. They also help distribute the tension evenly, preventing the strapping from cutting into the load​

Banding and strapping are terms often used interchangeably in the context of securing loads, but they can refer to different materials and methods depending on the application. Here’s a detailed comparison:

Banding: Banding typically refers to steel or metal bands used for securing heavy loads. However, it can also include plastic or polyester bands.

Strapping: Strapping generally refers to the use of synthetic materials such as polypropylene, polyester, and composite strapping. It can also include woven and cord strapping.
