What is Polypropylene Strapping?

Polypropylene strapping is a lightweight, yet strong plastic material used to secure loads for shipping and transport. It is made from polypropylene, a type of polymer that is known for its strength, durability, and flexibility. Polypropylene strapping is available in a variety of widths, thicknesses, and colors, and can be used for a wide range of applications.

Benefits of Polypropylene Strapping

  • Lightweight and strong: Polypropylene strapping is lightweight, yet strong enough to secure even heavy loads.
  • Durable: Polypropylene strapping is resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and UV rays, making it a durable choice for long-term use.
  • Flexible: Polypropylene strapping is flexible, making it easy to wrap around loads of different shapes and sizes.
  • Economical: Polypropylene strapping is a cost-effective choice for securing loads.

 

Difference between polypropylene and polyester strapping

Polypropylene and polyester are both types of plastic strapping, but they have some key differences. Polypropylene strapping is more flexible and less expensive than polyester strapping. However, polyester strapping is stronger and retains its tension better over time.

What can I use instead of Polypropylene Strapping?

There are a few alternatives to polypropylene strapping, including:

  • Steel strapping: Steel strapping is stronger and more resistant to UV than polypropylene strapping, but it is also heavier, not as safe and usually more expensive per metre.
  • PET strapping: PET strapping is a type of plastic strapping that is stronger and more durable than polypropylene strapping. However, the set up costs relating to tooling is usually more expensive.
  • Composite strapping: Composite strapping is a type of strapping that is made from polyester fibers that are coated with a layer of polypropylene. This makes it stronger and more durable than polypropylene strapping, while still retaining the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of polypropylene.

Polypropylene strapping is a versatile and cost-effective material that is well-suited for a variety of packaging applications. It is lightweight, strong, durable, flexible, and economical. If you are looking for a reliable and affordable way to secure your loads, polypropylene strapping is a great option.
