Stainless Strapping is Weather Resistant, Perfect for Summer Conditions
Stainless strapping is the best type of strapping for one reason- it does not rust. While steel strapping lost its popularity due to rust, stainless strapping has gained its popularity for being strong and durable in many weather conditions.
When industries were frustrated with steel strapping, stainless strapping was introduced so that the packages would be strongly strapped and would not have to contend with rust or stains on the packaged goods. However, stainless strap has one disadvantage and it is considerably more expensive than steel strapping. Some industries with a good budget use stainless strap, but most industries have to think twice about using stainless strap as it comes with a big price tag.
Advantages of Stainless banding
- Good for heavy duty loads
- Great for rough handling
- High tensile
- Reinforced with Carbon
Stainless strapping is largely used in civil engineering, telecom, petroleum industries and other non-commercial applications. The great feature associated with stainless strap is that it has precise elongation and has a great break strength. The stainless steel bands are made of an alloy that has about 11% chromium along with steel. This composition makes the steel weather resistant and not rust when exposed to the elements.
