Veltkamp - English

Production

polyester fibres are laid alongside one anonther and drawn through a die gap where the fibres are melted with polyester creating strapping
the strapping is then drawn through a water bin to cool off, is possibly printed and is wound onto a roll
the diameter and number of the fibres determine the width of the strapping

Disadvantages

difficult to use, the strapping is fairly stiff and rigid, especially at lower temperatures

slackens within a few hours (loss of tension, dependent on ambient temperature)

if tightened hard then the PET layer of the fiber is stripped off in the buckle

tears very easily in the longitudinal direction along the fibres

becomes plastic at more than 30 degrees Celsiusor or 86 degrees Fahrenheit

Application

strapping of pallets with a heavier load
