The Best Uses for a Poly Strapping Kit

WEST DOVER, Vt. - May 10, 2015 - PRLog -- A poly strapping kit comes in rolls that are about a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch wide and about an eighth of an inch thick. It comes in regular duty and high tensile grades. The primary advantage is that a poly strapping kit comes is relatively stable – it stretches very little after it’s applied to a load. It is also tolerant of sharp-edged loads. A poly strapping kit comes is used to bear heavy loads and withstand rough handling.

This is a significant advantage in applications where the load is stable (not prone to settling) and will be transferred multiple times before it reaches its destination. A poly strapping kit comes has the additional advantage of being carbon reinforced. Getting a poly strapping kit comes suggested for situations where the load is subject to a jolt and/or additional break strength is required. A poly strapping kit (even when smoothed and de-burred) is a safety hazard for inexperienced users. Carelessly cutting a poly band will cause it to lash and inflict deep gashes---the face is especially at risk.

The average polyester coil weighs about 50 pounds. It is better then steel in that it doesn’t  scratch and tear the load---which means it’s a good idea to use it for loads with exposed paint or other vulnerable surfaces.

A poly strapping kit can also stretch a little when it binds a load. If the load settles as a result of transportation or storage, the banding perimeter can offer flexibility. The result is that the banding can still hold the load tightly together.

A poly strapping kit is cheaper then steel banding and the cost doesn’t fluctuate as much as steel (which is dependent on the price of the base metal-–making it difficult to budget).

With all these downsides of steel banding you can see why a poly strapping kit is very popular for manufactures. The answer is that it can help with heavy loads or light loads over a long distance that will protect it from damage and not give the same negative “side effects” that steel banding does.
