Steel Banding

Steel Banding

Regular-Duty steel strapping is a medium carbon steel strap that is cold rolled and engineered for higher breaking strength while also being a thinner gauge than regular-duty steel straps. In light to medium-duty uses it may be applied as a substitute for heavy gauge regular-duty steel strapping. By doing so, you can reduce costs associated with material and shipping.

 

High-Tensile steel strapping is a heat-treated, cold-rolled medium carbon steel strapping material designed for the most heavy-duty usage. This highly engineered steel strapping offers high tensile strength and outstanding shock resistance, making it the ideal choice for those heaviest-duty applications.

The advantages of using Embossed Poloyester instead of Smooth Poloyester strapping

  • Embossed polyester takes less force to tension which results in tighter packages.
  • If you are using battery tool with embossed, you will get more cycles out of your battery before charging is required.
  • Its been shown that you get better seal joint effeciency with embossed as opposed to smooth.
  • Embossed polyester tends to split less.

Choosing the right buckle

Recently a customer asked if there is a better buckle to use than the one he is currently using. There is a problem with the buckle bending when tensioning them on 3/4” woven cord strap. Usually galvanized buckles are used on composite strap and phosphate buckles are used on cord strapping.  Our 2087 buckle would work better because it is the stronger .160 gauge wire compared to the .120 gauge galvanized that he is now using.
