Securing goods with polypropylene PP strap

Polypropylene is a cost-effective material suitable for light to medium-duty loads, ideal for securing pallets and bundling cartons. It comes in a variety of widths, thicknesses, and polymer types, such as copolymers.

This product allows for considerable elongation, although the stretching will eventually cease, particularly when the strap is under a constant load.

The most efficient way to use polypropylene PP strap is with a battery-powered strapping tool. This approach helps you save both time and materials. When using a battery strapping machine, clips are not required for sealing.

Many end users are unaware that PP strapping can lose 50% of its initial tension within just one hour, and this loss increases as the ambient temperature rises. Therefore, it is important that PP strap has adequate tensile strength. To increase packing speed and achieve reliable strap tension, most industries opt for automatic solutions. PP strapping can also be printed, offering additional marketing opportunities.

Advantages: Economical, efficient, straightforward to use, recyclable, high elongation, and reusable.

Limitations: low resistance to elongation under load, unsuitable for heavy items or those sensitive to environmental conditions, increased wear when used with sharp or hard-edged goods.

Application methods: hand tools, manual tensioners and sealers, battery-powered tensioners and sealers, semi-automatic machines, and automatic machines.
