More info
This product is a Heavy-Duty Polyester (PET) Strapping Band often used as a direct, safer alternative to steel strapping for high-strength applications.
Here is a breakdown of the specific features you listed:
P.E.T. Strapping Band Specifications
| Feature |
Specification |
Detail / Importance |
| Material |
P.E.T. (Polyester) |
This is the strongest and most durable plastic strapping. It retains tension extremely well and absorbs shock during transit, making it ideal for rigid and heavy loads. |
| Color |
Green |
Standard color for extruded PET strapping worldwide. The color is often used to quickly identify the material type in a warehouse. |
| Width |
16mm |
This is the width of the strap. It requires 16mm seals/clips and a 16mm strapping tool (tensioner/sealer) for proper application. (It is approximately 5/8 inch). |
| Thickness |
0.8mm |
This is a heavy-duty gauge for plastic strapping. The thickness directly contributes to the strap's high tensile strength. |
| Weight |
20KG |
This is the net weight of the strap material on the roll. In the packaging industry, roll weight is used for bulk quantity. |
Key Performance Metrics (Based on 16mm x 0.8mm Specifications)
This specific dimension (16mm x 0.8mm) is designed for serious load securement:
-
Tensile Strength (Breaking Strength): The average breaking strength for a 16mm x 0.8mm PET strap is commonly 400 kg (or greater, depending on the manufacturer's grade). This high strength allows it to replace steel strapping in many heavy-duty applications.
-
Yield/Length: Based on industry standards, a 20KG roll of this specific size will typically yield around 1,200 meters of strap (Source 1.1, 1.5).
-
Application: Ideal for securing heavy, rigid loads that may settle or shift slightly, such as:
-
Bricks, tiles, and pavers
-
Timber and lumber bundles
-
Heavy pallets (machinery, metal, industrial goods)
-
Metal coils or sheet metal
Tools and Seals Required
To use this high-strength strap effectively, you will need:
-
Seals/Clips: 16mm serrated metal seals (as you asked about previously) or specialized high-efficiency seals.
-
Tooling: High-end manual combination tools or battery-powered/pneumatic strapping tools are recommended to achieve the high tension required for this heavy-duty material and ensure a secure heat-welded or sealed joint.
