Steel strapping has either a zinc coating, or is painted and waxed. Zinc increases corrosion resistance, whilst waxing reduces strap friction in order to apply tension more evenly along its length.
Steel is commonly used to strap heavier materials due to its high tensile strength and minimal elongation under tension.
Steel strapping can be sealed using compressible metal seals, or a crimping sealer, and requires heavy duty Steel Strapping Cutters.
This strapping is available in two Strapping Kits
Ribbon Wound Strapping has each layer wound directly over the one below so that the coild width is the same as the strip.This offers a lower coil weight for easy handling.
