Polyester Cord Strapping

Cord strap has established itself as an effective alternative to steel strapping materials. Whether it is the rigidity of composite strapping or the durability of heavy duty woven strapping, cord strap eliminates many of the hazards of steel strapping. The soft and flexible texture of the cord strapping protects the most sensitive products. It is safe on virtually all surfaces, does not corrode, rust, or stain products, and will not damage forklift tires.

Polyester cord strap has smooth edges and is nonabrasive so it makes it ideal for hand applications. This strapping can be hand tied or applied using inexpensive strapping tools, thus eliminating expensive tool repairs. Polyester cord strap is also five times lighter than steel strapping allowing for ease and flexibility of use.

Cord Strapping Definitions:

• Bonded Cord Strapping - Also known as "Non-Woven Cord Strapping" is widely used in bundling and securing products. Applications include: landscaping, printing, baling, and the automotive industries.
• Woven Cord Strapping - Woven Cord Strapping adds bi-directional strength and split resistance needed in heavier applications. Cost-effective and ideal for bundling medium to heavy loads. Also available in heavy duty cord strapping for heavy loads often found within the metal and plastics industries as well as rail car load securing.
• Composite Cord Strapping - Composite cord strapping is made from polyester fibers coated with clear polypropylene. The plastic coating adds water resistance protection and improved longevity when used with loads that require the strapping to be threaded under the pallets and through metal buckles.
