PP and PET Strapping

PP strapping, or polypropylene strapping, is a popular choice for various strapping applications due to its affordability and versatility. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and applications:

1. **Material Quality**: PP strapping is made from high-quality new materials, ensuring strength and reliability in securing packages and loads.

2. **Affordability**: Polypropylene is relatively cheap compared to other strapping materials, making it cost-effective for a wide range of applications.

3. **Versatility**: PP strapping can be used in numerous applications across different industries due to its flexibility and adaptability.

4. **Application Methods**:
– **Manual Application**: PP strapping can be applied manually using various methods such as:
– Metal seals: These are crimped onto the ends of the strapping to secure it in place.
– Buckles: These are used to create a loop in the strapping, which is then tightened to secure the load.
– Friction-weld or battery-powered banding tools: These tools facilitate the tensioning and sealing of the strapping without the need for additional seals or buckles.

– **Semi-Automatic Application**: In semi-automatic applications, PP strapping is applied using machines that assist in tensioning and sealing the strapping. This method is suitable for higher volume operations where manual application may be impractical.

– **Fully Automatic Application**: Fully automatic strapping machines are used for high-volume applications where efficiency and speed are essential. These machines can apply PP strapping to packages and loads with minimal human intervention.

PP strapping’s adaptability and cost-effectiveness make it a preferred choice for industries such as logistics, shipping, manufacturing, and warehousing, where securing packages and palletized loads is crucial for transportation and storage.
