POLYESTER PET STRAP

Product Description

PET Strap (Polyester Strapping) Complete Product Description

Overview

PET Strap (Polyester Strap) is a high-strength, durable, and cost-efficient packaging material made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). It is designed for heavy-duty strapping applications where traditional steel strapping was previously used. PET Strap provides excellent tensile strength, flexibility, and elongation recovery, making it one of the most preferred packaging materials in industrial and commercial sectors worldwide.

It is widely used for palletizing, bundling, and securing goods during transportation and storage. Due to its non-corrosive and eco-friendly nature, PET Strap is considered a next-generation alternative to steel and polypropylene (PP) strapping.

Manufacturing Process

PET Straps are manufactured through the following steps:

1. Raw Material Preparation: High-quality PET flakes (recycled plastic) or virgin PET granules are used.

2. Extrusion: The PET granules are melted and extruded through a flat die to form strap sheets.

3. Stretching: The sheet is stretched to align molecular chains, improving tensile strength.

4. Embossing: A surface pattern is added to improve grip and seal strength.

5. Heat Setting: Stabilizes the strap dimensions and reduces shrinkage.

6. Winding: The finished PET straps are wound into rolls and packaged for dispatch.

This process ensures consistent strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term stability.
