Veltkamp - English

Production

fabric fibres are laid alongside one another 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
