PP strapping band, or polypropylene strapping, is a type of plastic strap made from polypropylene material. It’s commonly used for bundling, packaging, and securing items for shipping or storage. PP strapping is lightweight, flexible, and resistant to moisture and UV light, making it suitable for a variety of applications in industries like logistics, manufacturing, and construction. It can be used with manual, semi-automatic, or automatic strapping machines and is available in various widths and thicknesses to accommodate different needs.
The specifications of PP (polypropylene) strapping can vary based on its intended application, but here are some common specifications:
- Material: Made from polypropylene resin.
- Width: Typically ranges from 5mm to 19mm (0.2 to 0.75 inches), but can vary depending on specific needs.
- Thickness: Generally ranges from 0.3mm to 1.5mm (0.012 to 0.059 inches).
- Breaking Strength: Varies widely based on width and thickness; can range from 100 to over 600 pounds (45 to 272 kg) or more.
- Elongation: Usually around 10% to 20% at break, which indicates how much the strap can stretch before breaking.
- Color: Available in various colors, commonly black, blue, or natural (clear).
- Coating: Can be plain or have a wax or special coating for improved friction and grip.
- Surface: Can be embossed or smooth, depending on the required application.
- Temperature Resistance: Generally performs well in temperatures from -40°F to 150°F (-40°C to 65°C).
- UV Resistance: Some PP strapping may be treated for UV resistance for outdoor use.
