Polypropylene strapping is the most commonly used and least expensive of all strapping ,materials. It's light and easy to apply and recycle. Characteristics include high elongation and elongation recovery, but low retained tension. Available in both manual and machine grade, it can be sealed with buckles, seals, heat seals or friction welds. Polypropylene is best for light duty palletizing, unitizing, carton closing and bundling. It is used in all semi-automatic strappers and nearly all stand alone arch machines.
Polyester is the most rigid of all strapping materials. It elongates significantly less than polypropylene and retains tension over a longer period. Polyester is nick resistant and can be sealed with seals, heat or friction welds. Frequently used on heavy duty loads that need high initial tension aliong with high retained tension. Common applications are empty cans and bottles, lumber, and heavy, rigid palletizing. Polyester is available in both machine grade and hand grade and is easy to dispose of and to recycle.
Cord strapping is available in both polyester and rayon, and in two basic forms: uniline and cross woven. Uniline cord is manufactured by gluing fibers together, with cross woven a cross weave is added between the fibers. Cord is used only in manual applications and is sealed using buckles, seals, or tied. Polyester cord offers excellent resistance to moisture and is frequently used in outdoor applications. The heavy duty polyester sizes are now frequently replacing steel in lumber applications. Other common uses are agricultural (bracing of fruit trees) and the boat industry.
