Production

• this type of strapping is manufactured in the same way as the
  Extruded PP 

 Disadvantages

• if tightened too much the strapping may suddenly burst
• 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 fibre is stripped off the buckle
• tears very easily in the longitudinal direction along the fibres
• becomes plastic at more than 30 degrees Celsius or 86 degrees Fahrenheit 

 

Dimensions

• 1/2 - 5/8 - 3/4 - 1 inch  =  13 - 16 - 19 - 25mm
   

Fastenings used
