​Steel Strapping Types

Steel Strapping is used for various purposes such as packaging, banding, and heavy duty bundling. It is made from high-quality steel that makes it durable and long-lasting. This product is available in different sizes, thicknesses, and widths to meet specific needs. It has a smooth painted surface that makes it easy to use. This product is widely used in construction, automotive, packaging, and lumber industry.

Blue-Tempered Steel Strapping:

Blue-Tempered Steel Strapping is a special type of steel strapping, which has gained wide acceptance in the packaging industry. Blue-tempered steel straps are manufactured by heating normal carbon steel above deformed temperature. The process gives it a distinctive blue color and improves its mechanical properties such as ductility, hardness, and strength. It also eliminates the risk of cracking that occurs in low-tempered products under stress or heart conditions.

Paint-Coated Steel Strapping:

Paint-Coated Steel Strapping (PCSS) is a type of steel strapping that uses coated fabric as a raw material. The coating process involves two components, which are the base coat and topcoat. The base coat is applied to the fabric using powder paint, whereas the topcoat is applied with liquid paint through a spray gun. This process gives the product a smooth and even surface. PCSS is widely used in packaging, construction, and other industries due to its high strength and durability.

Galvanized Steel Strapping:

Galvanized steel strapping is a type of steel strapping that has been coated with zinc. This process is known as galvanization and is done to protect the steel from corrosion. The zinc coating acts as a barrier between the steel and the environment, preventing rust and other forms of corrosion from damaging the steel. Galvanized steel strapping is often used in outdoor applications or in environments where corrosion is likely to occur.
