definition of Polyester Hot Melt Strapping
Hot Melt Strapping is a high-strength composite strapping made from twisted polyester yarns bonded together with a hot-melt adhesive. The adhesive coating encapsulates the fibers, creating a strap that is soft, smooth, and flexible while providing high break load capacity and excellent shock absorption.
It is safe to use, economical, and easy to tension by hand or with basic tools, making it ideal for manual strapping and baling of non-abrasive products such as paper. Hot melt strapping is also known as WG strap, HM strap, hot-melt strap, or Kraft strap, and is widely used in baling presses and waste compaction applications.
Features of Polyester Hot Melt Strapping
Polyester Hot Melt Strapping offers a combination of strength, safety, and flexibility, making it ideal for heavy-duty cargo securing. Key features include:
1.High Tensile Strength
- Manufactured from twisted polyester yarns bonded with hot-melt adhesive, providing strong load-holding capacity
2.Excellent Shock Absorption
- Effectively absorbs tension and impacts during transit, minimizing load shifting and cargo damage.
3.Soft, Smooth & Flexible
- Gentle on edges and surfaces, helping to protect products from damage during strapping and transport.
4. Safe & Easy to Use
- No sharp edges and minimal snap-back risk; can be tensioned by hand or with simple tensioning tools.
5.Economical & Lightweight
- Cost-effective alternative to steel strapping with easier handling and reduced overall packaging costs.
6. Non-Corrosive & Weather Resistant
- Will not rust or degrade, suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
7. Wide Application Range
- Ideal for manual strapping, baling presses, and securing non-abrasive products such as paper and waste materials.
8.Environmentally Friendly Option
- Made from polyester fibers and often recyclable, making it a more sustainable choice compared to traditional steel strapping.
