HIGH TENSILE PET STRAP
Recyclable Eco-friendly Strap for Critical Load Securement
SUNSTRAP HIGH TENSILE PETSTRAPS
PETStraps are a high tensile polymer strap manufactured by the extrusion and subsequent stretching process from Polyethlene Terephthalate (PET), a recyclable eco-friendlypolymer. Due to their significantly superior characteristics, PETStraps are internationally recognized as a preferred replacement to Steel Straps in many load securement packaging applications. PETStraps are better able to absorb high shock in handling and transportation of the load, can keep load secured more effectively, and have greater elasticity, which is a critical advantage in compensating for tension losses.
Sunstrap is a range of High Tensile PETStrap manufactured by Interplex India from carefully selected inputs, to exacting standards based on our superior technical capability, professional and systematic approach to manufacturing and continuous research and innovation.
Sunstrap is manufactured on state of the art European plant, utilizing the Company’s long experience since 1989 in the field of specialized extrusion. Interplex’s manufacturing facility has full ISOCertifications as well as BISCertification for PETStrap.
Sunstrap has excellent and consistent tensile and break strength and is ideal for the most demanding applications. The customer can trust Sunstrap to provide dependable performance under critical load conditions and at the same time be assured of the most cost efficient solution for the specific load securing application.
SUNSTRAP GRADES
HT GRADE
HT Grade has a tensile 2 strength of 38 – 40 kg/mm and is used in most general high tensile manual strapping applications.
EHT GRADE
EHT Grade has an enhanced tensile 2 strength of 41-43 kg/mm and enhanced properties for more demanding manual strapping as well as some general auto strapping applications.
UHT GRADE
UHT Grade has the highest tensile strength of 46 48 kg/mm achieved by the use of selected inputs. It used in applications requiring ultra high tensile strength and load retention for applications requiring lower strap size for practical reasons and more critical auto strapping applications.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SUNSTRAP
- High retaining strength and controlled elongation due to unique properties of PET which provide excellent resistance to burst
- Excellent retained tension over long period of time, as well as when load is subject to movement and vibration during transportation, or when load is subject to dimensional changes after securing due to settling, such as in baling application
- High shock reserve allowing load to be safely secured under dynamic conditions when load shifts during transportation
- Resistant to rusting allowing strap to be placed directly on product without causing staining or contamination of product
- No sharp edges making it easier and safer to handle, avoiding risk of injuries to operator due to snapback when tensioning and avoiding damage to secured load due to edge cutting
- Lighter weight than steel allowing for easier handling during strapping operations and storage
- Superior weather resistance allowing secured load to be stored in the open
- Easy to seal with special Tools allowing ease of application
- Eco-friendly making it easily recyclable
- More economical than steel strap
