Polywoven Strap

Polywoven Strapping for Heavy Loads, Safely

Polywoven strapping is a woven polyester cord strap that holds heavy, rigid and awkward loads the way steel does, without the weight or the sharp edges. It retains its tension over long periods and can be re-tensioned at any time, so a load stays tight even as it settles in storage or transit. It is lightweight, safe to handle, re-usable and resistant to weather and chemicals, which makes it a practical alternative to steel for many heavy strapping jobs. Premium Packaging supplies polywoven strapping in bulk to manufacturing, timber, building supply and heavy logistics operations across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

Specifications

• Widths: 16mm, 19mm and 32mm.
• Rated break strengths: from 350kg up to 2300kg, depending on width and grade.
• Strength coding: colour lines identify the grade at a glance, from a single blue line through to red lines and white for the strongest 32mm strap.
• Properties: retains tension and can be re-tensioned, lightweight, re-usable, no sharp edges, weather and chemical resistant.

Matching the Strap to the Load

The colour-line coding makes it easy to pick the right grade. A 16mm single blue line strap is rated to 350kg for lighter heavy-duty work, the 19mm grades step up through 590kg and 840kg to 1100kg for heavier loads, and the 32mm white strap is rated to 2300kg for the heaviest jobs. Choosing by the rated strength means the strap holds the load without over-specifying. Our team can help you match the grade to your loads.

Safer Than Steel

Polywoven does the work of steel on many loads while being far easier and safer to handle. It has no sharp edges that can cut hands or damage goods, it will not rust or stain, and it is light to lift and store. Because it holds and recovers tension, it keeps a load secure as it shifts, and it can be re-tensioned rather than cut off and replaced. On the heaviest, most rigid loads steel still has its place, but for a great deal of heavy strapping polywoven is the safer, more practical choice.

How Polywoven Strapping Is Secured

Polywoven is tensioned by hand and secured with polywoven wire buckles, with no crimping or welding needed. Feed the strap through the buckle, tension it, and the buckle holds the load. A polywoven strap dispenser keeps the roll feeding cleanly at the bench. For a rigid plastic strap instead of a corded one, PET strapping is the alternative.

Where Polywoven Strapping Is Used

• Timber, pipe and building materials, bundling long and heavy loads
• Machinery and awkward loads, where a strong, forgiving strap holds better than a rigid one
• Heavy palletised freight, securing loads for long transport
• Operations moving from steel, for a lighter, safer, re-usable strap
