Cord Strapping
Cord strapping is commonly made from polyester fibers and is among the most durable non-metal strapping materials. It is so durable that it is an effective alternative for steel strapping. It provides the benefits of steel strapping without its drawbacks, especially safety concerns. Durability and non-cutting edges are its biggest assets, and there are a number of battery-powered Golden Bear Tools that make application much easier with their high tensioning force.
Advantages
Cord strapping has many advantages:
- Effective substitute to expensive steel strapping.
- Safer for use and handling.
- Doesn’t rust or stain.
- Almost 4 times lighter than steel.
- Elastic memory ensures loads remain tight.
- Can be used without edge guards.
Cord strapping is safe for both operators and receivers. It is highly cost effective and doesn’t cause damages to loads. It can retain high tension and can also be printed upon. Another advantage of using it is that it’s resistant to chemicals and weather conditions. It can also be re-tensioned.
Applications of Cord Strapping
Cord strapping is highly versatile because it’s inexpensive, safe and highly durable. It can be used for securing and bundling a variety of products in different industries ranging from automotive to building products to agriculture.
Golden Bear provides a number of powerful battery-powered cord strapping tools to address different types of applications.
