Heavy Duty PET Strapping Band
Heavy Duty PET Strapping Bands are high‑tensile, AAR‑certified polyester straps designed to replace steel strapping. They deliver comparable strength with greater safety, easier handling, and lower environmental impact, making them ideal for securing heavy cargo in rail, road, and sea transport.
Product Strengths:
- Comparable tensile strength to steel straps (up to 2,800 lbs / 12,455 N depending on size).
- No sharp edges, reduced risk of injury compared to steel.
- Controlled elongation absorbs dynamic loads during transit.
- Unlike steel, PET straps do not rust.
- Often manufactured from recycled PET bottles, reducing CO₂ footprint.
- AAR‑approved for rail transport; compliant with ASTM and EN standards.
Usage Recommendation:
- Ideal for rail cargo requiring AAR‑certified securement.
- Suitable for heavy loads such as steel coils, timber, bricks, and machinery.
- Recommended for export shipments where safety and compliance are critical.
- Perfect for industries seeking steel alternatives with lower handling risks.
