Strapping Materials

Steel strapping can be broken down as follows:

• Regular Duty Steel strapping is a low carbon steel for reinforcing packages, unitizing medium heavy product, and stacking product firmly.

• High Tensile Steel strapping is a heat-treated high carbon steel with high strength and shock resistant elongation. High tensile steel is the workhorse for tying down steel coils, lumber loads, and open trailer loading.

• Stainless Steel strapping adds the advantage of corrosion and rust resistance in outdoor storage or permanent/semi-permanent applications like outdoor signage, duct work, and hose clamps.

• Punched Steel strapping comes in a number of widths and punch hole configurations. The punched holes facilitate strapping and anchoring in construction, insulation, and concrete bracing.

• Zinc-coated strapping maximizes resistance to rust in all environments where climate is an issue. Available in a variety of regular and high tensile steel strapping, it has the same enhanced tension transmission characteristics as the painted and waxed strapping. Zinc finish safeguards where it is needed most-at points of surface damage and scratches.

• Painted Steel Strapping: Painted strapping is coated to offer corrosion resistance. Available in a wide array of Magnus strapping sizes, it is used in crimp-style seal systems to produce high joint strength.

• Painted and Waxed Steel Strapping: Painted and waxed strapping also provides corrosion resistance. Available in all Apex Plus and Magnus strap sizes, it can be used in notch or crimp-type seal systems. Its chief advantage is improved tension transmission around load corners. Waxed strapping is required for feedwheel-type tensioners.
