PET straps have become the modern replacement for steel straps due to their strength, safety, cost benefits, and sustainability. As industries move toward eco-friendly and efficient solutions, PET strapping is now preferred worldwide for securing heavy loads.
Why PET Straps Are Replacing Steel Straps
1. High Strength + Flexibility
PET straps offer up to 80–90% of steel’s tensile strength while providing shock absorption and tension retention — something steel cannot do.
2. Safer to Handle
Steel is sharp and dangerous when cut. PET has smooth edges, no recoil, and no rust, making operations much safer.
3. No Rust, No Corrosion
PET is weather-resistant and ideal for outdoor storage, unlike steel which corrodes easily.
4. Lightweight & Affordable
PET weighs far less, reduces transport cost, minimizes tool wear, and eliminates rust-prevention expenses.
5. Eco-Friendly
Made from 100% recycled PET, it supports sustainability and can be recycled again — reducing carbon emissions and promoting a circular economy.
Where PET Straps Are Used
Industries switching from steel to PET include:
- Steel & metal coil packaging
- Timber & lumber
- Bricks & tiles
- Cotton & textile bales
- Palletized goods and logistics
PET is strong, flexible, and safe — making it suitable for almost every industrial application.
