Composite Strapping: A Great Alternative To Steel

Published on August 28, 2018

Are you sick and tired of steel strapping?

Have you been putting up with it simply because you don’t know what to replace it with?

Perhaps you or someone you know have injured themselves on the cold, abrasive edges or had products damaged because steel is so unforgiving?

If this sounds like the pain you are currently experiencing then there is another product we suggest you try…

We would like to introduce you to a great alternative, composite strapping.

Composite Strapping

Composite strapping is the answer to all your steel strapping issues.

It is made from polyester yarns which are embedded in a polypropylene coating.

The high tenacity polyester yarns are the core of this product and are what provides the tensile strength.

The polypropylene coating holds the yarns together and creates a product as strong as steel!

Some of the advantages that make this strap so popular and such as great alternative are:

1. It is just as strong as steel strapping
2. It is easy to handle and is extremely safe
3. This strap absorbs shock and will not recoil when broken or cut
4. It does not rust or stain the products that it is used on.

Not only that, but it’s a lighter product making it easier to handle and the soft edges mean you do not need to be concerned about cuts and abrasions.

Compare the Pair

You might still be wondering whether composite can be used to replace the steel your currently using.

Let’s take a look at how the two types of strap stack up against each other…

Changing over to composite is also quick and easy, no expensive equipment needed.

Composite is secured quickly and simply by using wire buckles and a tensioner.

Below is a video demonstration of the composite strapping in action!

Make your workplace safer

One of the biggest issues with steel strapping is that it is a harsh product to handle.

There are more than 3 workers cut/injured by steel strapping every day in Australia.

Using the required PPE (personal protection equipment) is always required and even then there are risks associated with applying and removing the strapping.

A simple and cost-effective way to instantly increase your workplace safety and reduce work-related injuries is to switch to the composite strap.

No cuts, no recoil, no injuries!
