Strapping FAQs
What is the difference between Polypropylene (PP) and Polyester (PET) strapping?
Polypropylene (PP)also known as poly strapping, is an economical and light-weight strapping. While PP is designed for lighter applications, Polyester (PET) can be compared with steel in terms of strength and durability. PET strapping is made from high-tenacity polyester yarns and is suitable for a variety of industries. For more information on both these materials, read our comprehensive guide on Signet's strapping materials and accessories.
Which strapping has the highest break load?
Zinc coated steel strapping and Polyester (PET) strapping has 904kg and 900kg break load respectively. However, there are multiple factors to consider when choosing a suitable material. For more information on both these materials, read our comprehensive guide on Signet's strapping materials and accessories.
What does 'break load' mean?
'Break load' or 'break strength' refers to the amount of force required to break or snap the strap. The break load specifications of your strapping should be much higher than the expected force it will be exposed to.
Can you re-use strapping?
It's not advised that any strapping is re-used unless it is specifically designed for that purpose (for example Poly-woven strapping).
What strapping goes with which buckles/accessories?
For more information on both these materials, read our comprehensive guide on Signet's strapping materials and accessories.
Which strapping is right for my application?
For more information on both these materials, read our comprehensive guide on Signet's strapping materials and accessories.
Is steel strapping safe?
The best replacement for steel is Polyester (PET) strapping. Its very high strength and minimal 'creep' means the strap tension is maintained throughout transit. This product is suited to most applications where steel strapping has been used previously.
What safety equipment is required when handling strapping?
The robustness of your PPE gear will depend on the type of strapping you are using; however, Safety Glasses and Gloves should always be worn. Check with your OHS supervisor as to what specific safety equipment is required for your application.
How do I order a strapping machine?
We have a range of strapping machines available for enquiry. View our range of Strapping Machines and fill out your details so that one of our customer service representatives can get in touch with you.
What does 'embossed' strapping mean?
Embossed strapping has a diamond shaped texture and provides friction against the strapping buckle or seal, therefore reducing slipping throughout transit.
Is Polyester (PET) strapping weather resistant?
Unlike steel, PET strapping won't rust, is naturally UV resistant and is virtually weatherproof.
Do you have any strapping starter packs available?
We have a couple of starter packs available for purchase.
Polyester Starter Pack: Please call 13 7446 and quote 'PETSTART'.
Polypropylene Starter Pack: Please call 13 7446 and quote 'PPSTART'.
Can I use a tensioner for hand strapping?
Polypropylene Hand Strapping can be used with a tensioner and crimper. For more information on both these materials, read our comprehensive guide on Signet's strapping materials and accessories.
Do you sell edge and corner protectors?
Yes we do. View our range of corner and edge protectors, and strap guards
What is the difference between strapping tape and packaging tape?
Strapping Tape is used for the palletising and bundling of lightweight goods. While packaging tape can be used for similar application, Strapping Tape has a higher impact strength and won't break during transit or movement around the warehouse. Can be used with a dispenser
What's the difference between Ribbon wound and Oscillated (Rope or Mill wound) steel strapping?
Ribbon wound strapping is wound onto itself so that the width of the coil is one strand wide and therefore the same width as the strap e.g. 15mm strapping is a coil 15mm wide. Ribbon wound coils weigh approximately 14kg.
An Oscillated (also known as Rope or Mill wound) coil will weigh approximately 50kg and is wound uniformly and tightly onto an inner ring (much like a garden hose). Given the weight, these coils are usually placed and stored on dispensers that have wheels.
