Composite Strap
Composite straps, also known as corded strapping or synthetic steel, are a modern, high-strength packaging solution widely used for securing and bundling heavy loads. These straps are designed to offer the strength of steel strapping while providing superior flexibility, safety, and resistance to weather and chemical conditions. Their popularity has grown significantly in industries where traditional metal strapping may be unsuitable due to corrosion, injury risk, or damage to products.Composite strapping is primarily made from polyester fibers coated with a polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET) plastic jacket. These materials are bonded together to form a robust and rigid strapping band.
Key Components:
- High-Tensile Polyester Filaments
These fibers run longitudinally through the strap, giving it strong tensile strength, similar to that of steel strapping. - Polypropylene or Polyester Coating
The outer layer acts as a protective shield, making the strap more resistant to abrasion, UV rays, moisture, and chemicals. It also makes the strap stiffer, which helps when feeding the strap around loads.
Composite straps are designed to secure, bundle, stabilize, and protect goods during transportation and storage. Some of the key functions include:
- Load Securing
Prevents goods from shifting or falling during transport, reducing product damage and enhancing road safety. - Bundling
Groups multiple items (e.g., pipes, timber, boxes) together into a compact unit for easier handling. - Palletizing
Holds goods firmly on pallets to facilitate forklift handling and prevent spillage during movement. - Product Protection
Its non-metallic nature prevents damage to delicate or finished surfaces, unlike steel strapping which can scratch or cut. - Shock Absorption
Due to its slight elasticity, composite strapping can absorb impacts or sudden movements better than steel, reducing breakage.
Composite straps are used across a broad range of industries and environments. Here are some of the common application areas:
1. Logistics and Warehousing
For securing pallets, cartons, and mixed cargo before shipment or for long-term storage.
2. Construction
Used to bundle steel bars, bricks, timber, pipes, and construction materials on job sites.
3. Manufacturing
Helps in bundling heavy machinery parts, industrial equipment, or coils for domestic or international shipping.
4. Agriculture and Forestry
Used to tie logs, timber planks, or bundles of harvested crops or nursery plants.
5. Automotive
Secures vehicle parts or engines during export and transit.
6. Chemical and Oil Industry
Composite straps are ideal in these sectors because they resist corrosion from chemicals or oil exposure.
7. Maritime and Export Shipping
Perfect for containerization as it complies with international transport standards and can withstand salty environments.
Composite straps are utilized by a wide range of professionals and businesses, such as:
- Warehouse managers
- Freight forwarders
- Exporters and importers
- Construction contractors
- Manufacturing and assembly line personnel
- Retail and e-commerce distribution centers
- Palletizing service providers
- Agricultural producers and forestry companies
Using composite strapping involves a few key tools and steps. The general process is user-friendly and safe, especially compared to steel strapping.
Tools Required:
- Tensioner Tool
Used to tighten the strap around the load. - Wire Buckles (Galvanized or Phosphate-Coated)
These are inserted to hold the tension and lock the strapping ends. - Cutter (Optional)
To cut the strapping to the desired length.
- Wrap the Strap Around the Load
Pass the strap underneath or around the load depending on the shape and type of cargo. - Insert Strap Ends into Buckle
A metal wire buckle is used to tie both strap ends together. - Use the Tensioner Tool
Place the tool over the strap and crank it until the desired tension is achieved. The tool pulls the strap tight and keeps the buckle in place. - Secure and Lock
Once tight, the wire buckle grips the strap firmly, maintaining the tension. - Cut the Strap (if required)
Cut off excess strapping using a strap cutter or scissors.
Composite straps offer several benefits that make them a preferred choice over traditional strapping solutions.
1. High Strength
Suitable for securing heavy and bulky loads—available in strengths comparable to steel strapping.
2. Weather and Chemical Resistant
Its outer layer protects against UV rays, moisture, oils, and most chemicals.
3. Safe to Handle
No risk of injury from sharp edges or recoil, which is a major concern with steel strapping.
4. Non-Corrosive
Does not rust or stain packaged goods, especially important for metals, machinery, and white goods.
5. Shock Absorption
Retains tension even if the load shifts, which makes it ideal for long-haul or rough road transport.
6. Reusable and Cost-Effective
Often reusable for internal movements, and does not require heavy-duty cutting tools.
7. Compatible with Export Requirements
Acceptable under international shipping and ISPM regulations for timber packaging alternatives.
While composite straps offer many benefits, they also have some limitations:
- Less tamper-evident than steel strapping.
- Requires manual tools for tensioning and securing (though relatively inexpensive).
- May be overkill for very light loads, where polypropylene strapping may be sufficient and cheaper.
Whether you are securing machines for export, bundling timber on-site, or palletizing goods in a warehouse, composite strapping ensures that your loads stay safe and stable throughout their journey. It is an essential tool in modern logistics and industrial packaging.
