Plastic Strap

Contrax Polypropylene Strapping

ITW Signode manufactures plastic strapping for use with hand tools and high production power strapping machines. ITW Signode's manufacturing processes are designed to :

Control surface properties - to minimize tensioning effort, increase tension-transmission around corners and improve operating efficiency

Improve split-resistance to increase reliability in tools and power equipment

Contrax polypropylene strapping is a good choice for light and medium-duty applications, including palletizing, unitizing, bundling, carton closure and reinforcement. It resists splitting and has a smooth, uniform surface so it performs reliably in power strapping machines and hand tools. Contrax polypropylene strapping has elastic memory which absorbs shock and keeps strapping tight during handling and shipping.

High-Strength Tenax Polyester Strapping

New High-Strength Tenax is a heavy-duty polyester strap that has been specially engineered to provide an extremely tough and strong alternative to steel.

Ideal for both medium and heavy-duty loads. Tenax provides outstanding pack security for a wide variety of applications, including aluminium, corrugated products, metal, construction materials, timber, textiles and unitised cans/bottles. Not surprisingly it is rapidly becoming the preferred packaging material for the many industries that demand high performance and excellent product presentation.

Tenax Polyester Strapping

Tenax polyester strapping is designed for medium to heavy-duty palletising and unitising applications and can be applied by hand tools or power strapping equipment. This strapping material yields higher break strengths and maintains a higher level of retained strap tension than polypropylene strapping for maximum load stability. This makes it ideal for signature bundles and palletised loads of printed materials that tend to shift during handling and transit. Tenax is available in sizes ranging from 9mm to 16mm.
