The type of plastic strapping you will require for your application will depend on the specific requirements of the load you need to secure and the environment in which the strapping will be used. Here are some of the most common types of plastic strapping and their typical uses:

  • Polypropylene (PP) strapping: This is the most commonly used type of plastic strapping due to its affordability, flexibility, and ease of use. It is ideal for light to medium-duty applications.
  • Polyester strapping: This is a high-strength material that is commonly used for heavy-duty applications, such as securing large or heavy items. It is also resistant to moisture and UV light, making it suitable for outdoor use.
  • Corded Polyester Strapping: This type of strapping consists of polyester fibers that are woven together to create a strong, flexible cord. It is ideal for securing irregularly shaped loads and is resistant to moisture and UV rays.
  • Composite Strapping: This type of strapping is made up of several layers of different materials, such as polyester and polypropylene, to create a strong and durable strap. It is ideal for heavy-duty applications and is resistant to moisture and UV rays.
  • Cross Woven Polyester Strapping: This type of strapping is made from polyester fibers that are woven together to create a strong, flexible strap. It is resistant to abrasion and can be used for heavy-duty applications.

Each type of plastic strapping has its own unique properties, strengths, and weaknesses. It is important to consider the specific requirements of your application when selecting the appropriate type of plastic strapping.
