PET Strapping

Polyester (PET)strapping most closely resembles steel strapping in its physical characteristics. Polyester strapping withstands higher tensioning than other plastic strapping (up to 25% higher), with equivalent break strengths. It will retain tension on rigid loads better than other non-metallic strapping. The minimal elongation properties of polyester strapping further ensure tight straps on setting loads during handling so loads are more stable. If tensioned within the proper limits, it will elongate only 1% to 3% and after tensioning is relieved, it will recover up to 99% of its initial shape.
