This woven polyester strapping comes in two widths, 16 mm and 19 mm, wound on a 76 mm core and sold in packs of two rolls. If steel bands are damaging your goods, rusting in storage or creating cut hazards for operators, this textile alternative addresses those problems at lower weight and cost. The strap resists chemicals and weather, does not rust or rot, and can be reused.
Problems that woven polyester strapping solves
Steel strap is heavy. A warehouse operator lifting and moving steel coils through a full shift faces fatigue, and the sharp edges of steel bands create cut risks during tensioning and removal.
On the product side, steel edges can scratch, dent or mark finished surfaces. In woodworking, construction, mining and waste packaging, these problems translate into rejected deliveries, injury costs and wasted material.
How this polyester strapping holds and protects your load
Made from polyester fibres, the strap delivers tensile strength that varies by width and production type. It absorbs impact shocks during transport and allows later retensioning, so loads stay tight after road vibration or handling.
- Lighter than steel, reducing manual handling strain
- Does not scratch or dent the goods it secures
- Resists chemicals and weather: no rust, no rot
- Reusable across multiple load cycles
- Can be printed on for branding or identification
You tension the strap by hand or with pneumatic tools and fasten it with special metal clamps. Phosphate terminals are available as an alternative fastener for knit-type woven polyester strapping.
Applications and limits of woven polyester strapping
This strap is used in woodworking, mining, construction and waste packaging. It holds goods firmly without surface damage and withstands outdoor conditions thanks to its chemical and weather resistance.
There are clear limits. Do not use the strap around goods with sharp edges, as these can cut through the polyester fibres. Avoid applying it to hot products. Composite strips cannot be fastened with knots; use metal clamps instead.
What to check before you order this woven polyester strapping
Two variants are available:
- 16 mm width: 850 m per roll
- 19 mm width: 600 m per roll
Each pack contains two rolls on a 76 mm core. Confirm your dispenser or stand accepts this core size before ordering. You will need metal clamps or phosphate terminals for fastening and a hand or pneumatic tool for tensioning.
