PET strap is the best alternative to steel strapping and is especially used for medium-heavy to heavy applications.
PET strapping has many advantages over steel strapping. For instance, PET straps do not rust, is quicker to process, and is inexpensive. This sort of strapping is also suitable for ‘active’ loads, such as loads that expand or contract during transport due to varying temperatures and moisture content.
