1" x .050 x 1800' Black Smooth Waxed AAR Polyester Strapping

Quick Pak High Performance AAR Polyester Advantage.  Unlike alternative strapping products, our polyester combines the strength of steel strapping with the safety and economy of plastic to maximize performance. The result is a more secure load at a lower cost than many alternatives.

Some of the many advantages of our polyester over alternative products are:

Split Resistance – A small nick or cut will not propagate across the width of the strap.

High Retained Tension – The high tension capability of our high-performance polyester allows it to be applied tight. Once it’s on your load, it stays tight, 50% tighter than nylon and up to five times tighter than polypropylene.

Elongation Recovery – Applied properly, our high-performance polyester will stretch under tension. However, most of the elongation is recovered after the initial application. The result is a strap that stays tight even when loads are shrinking and settling during transit.

Environmentally Sound – our polyester is easy to recycle and nearly impervious to weather conditions.

Not just a “cheaper” alternative to steel – For many applications, it’s a better solution. Historically, steel strapping has been the preferred choice for certain types of loads. Our high-performance polyester is now a better alternative for many of these applications. Unlike steel, our polyester has “shock reserve”. This allows the strap to compensate for stresses during transit and enables it to recover so it stays tight. Our high-performance polyester also has several other advantages over steel strapping.

Safety – Not only is the danger of recoil injuries greatly reduced, PET coils weigh about half the weight of steel coils, reducing potential lifting injuries.

Weather Resistant – Unlike steel, PET won’t rust. It is virtually unaffected by weather conditions and is naturally UV resistant.

Recyclable – Easy to recycle, PET polyester can be cut into small pieces and accumulated for recycling.

Cost Savings – Typical steel applications that can be converted to High Performance Polyester can yield savings of 25 – 50% over steel costs. Additional savings are frequently realized in labor and other costs associated with using steel strap. Paybacks on equipment and tooling can be quick and the resulting return on investment considerable.
