PET strapping is a type of strapping used in applications requiring high, medium, and low strength. Application methods include manual (buckle type), semi-automatic (pneumatic), semi-automatic (battery-powered) strapping machines, or fully automatic pallet strapping lines.
It is resistant to climatic conditions and can withstand adverse weather conditions such as heat, cold, and humidity for a long time. However, it loses its mechanical properties when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, it should be stored under appropriate conditions, especially before use, and absolutely not exposed to sunlight. Sunlight negatively affects the mechanical properties of PET Straps in a very short time.
PET strapping is highly resistant to vibrations during transport when used in semi-automatic or fully automatic machines. However, the system’s strength is very low when using buckle and sheet metal buckles; therefore, using this application method is not technically recommended. Products with buckles can be damaged during transport.
PET strapping can be an alternative to steel strapping in some applications due to its strength and flexibility properties. When used in the packaging of metal products, it does not rust upon contact with the product, therefore it does not damage the product and is suitable for use in terms of occupational safety. PET strapping is preferred for strapping pallets with lower tonnage due to its cost-effectiveness.
PET straps are produced in two types: smooth and patterned (embossed) surfaces. Flat hoops have higher strength and durability compared to embossed hoops. Furthermore, the strength of the joint area of flat PET strapping is higher than that of the joint area of embossed PET strapping.
Due to its ease of use, it is among the most widely used hoops in our country and in the world. It is fully recyclable. It has higher strength compared to PP strapping. However, Polyester Fiber Composite Strapping, Textile Strapping (Hotmelt Strapping), and Woven Strapping have types with higher strength than PET Strapping.
