PP and PET Strips

Features of PP (Polypropylene) Strips

1. Strength and Flexibility:
• High Tensile Strength: PP strips have a high tensile strength, making them suitable for securing light to medium-weight loads effectively.
• Flexibility: They are highly flexible, which allows them to wrap around irregularly shaped items without breaking.
2. Durability:
• Resistance to Splitting: PP strips are resistant to splitting and cracking, ensuring reliable performance during packaging and transportation.
• Abrasion Resistance: They can withstand friction and rough handling without wearing out easily.
3. Chemical and Moisture Resistance:
• Chemical Resistance: PP strips are resistant to many chemicals, oils, and solvents, which makes them suitable for various industrial environments.
• Moisture Resistance: They do not absorb moisture, maintaining their integrity in humid or wet conditions.
4. Lightweight:
• Ease of Handling: Being lightweight, PP strips are easy to handle and apply, reducing the physical strain on workers and improving packaging efficiency.
5. Cost-Effectiveness:
• Affordable: PP strips are generally more affordable compared to other strapping materials, offering an economical solution for securing packages.

Features of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Strips

1. Superior Strength:
• High Tensile Strength: PET strips have a higher tensile strength compared to PP strips, making them suitable for securing heavy-duty loads.
• Excellent Tension Retention: They maintain their tension over time, ensuring that the load remains securely fastened during storage and transportation.
2. Rigidity and Stability:
• Rigidity: PET strips are more rigid than PP strips, providing greater load stability and minimizing the risk of load shifting.
• Minimal Elongation: They exhibit minimal elongation, which helps in maintaining a tight and secure hold on the load.
3. Environmental Resistance:
• UV Resistance: PET strips are resistant to UV light, making them ideal for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight is a concern.
• Temperature Tolerance: They perform well under a wide range of temperatures, maintaining their strength and integrity in both hot and cold environments.
4. Durability:
• Puncture and Abrasion Resistance: PET strips are highly resistant to punctures and abrasions, ensuring the long-lasting protection of the packaged goods.
• Chemical Resistance: They are resistant to various chemicals, enhancing their durability in different industrial settings.
5. Recyclability:
• Eco-Friendly: PET strips are recyclable, contributing to sustainable packaging practices and reducing environmental impact.

Common Features

1. Versatility:
• Variety of Sizes: Both PP and PET strips are available in various widths, thicknesses, and strengths, catering to a wide range of packaging requirements.
• Compatibility: They can be used with both manual and automated strapping tools, improving operational flexibility and efficiency.
2. Safety:
• Reduced Risk of Injury: Both types of strips are designed to reduce the risk of injury compared to metal strapping, as they do not have sharp edges.
