The Composite Strap WG is a polyester-yarn strapping material with a polypropylene coating, supplied in five widths from 13 mm to 32 mm. Each roll is wound on a Ø200 mm hub, and every box contains two rolls. If you band heavy cargo with steel strip today, you are dealing with a material that adds weight to every shipment, creates cut hazards for operators and corrodes when stored outdoors. The WG range offers a lighter, non-corrosive alternative with system strength from 675 kg up to 1750 kg.
Why buyers replace steel strip with composite strap
Steel strip is heavy per metre. That weight increases freight cost on every pallet and makes rolls difficult to carry around a yard or warehouse. During tensioning, cutting and removal, operators risk lacerations from sharp steel edges and spring-back. When steel-banded loads sit outdoors or travel on open trailers, the strip corrodes. Rust stains packaging and, on timber products, can mark the goods themselves. A corroded or notched steel band may snap under shock during transport, leaving cargo unsecured.
How composite strap WG works on your loads
The WG strap is built from polyester yarn enclosed in a polypropylene outer layer. The coating shields the yarn from sharp edges and from weathering during outdoor exposure. Because polyester does not corrode, cargo stays clean.
You can thread composite straps under a pallet base with less effort than steel, because the material is flexible and lighter. System strength with a buckle covers a wide range:
- 13 mm: 675 kg
- 16 mm: 900 kg
- 19 mm: 1050 kg
- 25 mm: 1250 kg
- 32 mm: 1750 kg
Where composite strapping fits and where it does not
WG composite straps are applied in woodworking, mining, construction and for bundling packaging waste. The polypropylene coating makes the material well suited to loads stored outdoors or shipped on open transport. It is lighter than steel and produces no sharp edges on the finished band, lowering the risk of handling injuries.
If your application demands system strength above 1750 kg, you will need a heavier-duty strapping product. Select the width that matches the holding force your cargo requires.
What to check before you order composite strap WG
Five widths are available, each wound on a Ø200 mm core:
- 13 mm: 1100 m per roll
- 16 mm: 600 m per roll
- 19 mm: 500 m per roll
- 25 mm: 500 m per roll
- 32 mm: 300 m per roll
Each box contains 2 rolls. The minimum order is one box (2 rolls). You will need buckles matched to the strap width to form the joint. A tensioning tool rated for composite strapping in the chosen width is also required to pull the strap tight.
