The polyester tape, also known as the PET tape, is used when a conventional polypropylene tape is not strong enough and therefore can not serve its purpose. The polyester tape and steel tape are most similar in their physical characteristics. The polyester tape can withstand up to twenty-five percent more tension compared to other plastic straps. It can thus keep the voltage much better than the other non-metallic bands despite loading. The quality of the polyester tape is not affected by whether or ultraviolet rays. Unlike steel straps, it is much cheaper and safer to use because it does not have sharp edges. Taking into account the facts above, the polyester strap has become the best possible substitute for steel. PET straps can be used for manual, battery, or automatic machines. It is available in the width of 9-27 mm and from 0,5 to 1,27 mm thick. PET strap varies according to its surface. The relief surface is the one that is standard and the smooth tape is recommended for heavier tasks since the tensile strength is higher.

PET strap has replaced steel in many industrial processes, as it is much cheaper and at the same time safer for use (it does not damage employees or goods because it has no sharp edges and does not brown). In addition, the sturdiness of the PET strap is also greater, therefore it is more suitable for larger loads. Its high elasticity replaces the loss of packaging voltage when it loses its volume over a long period of time. (eg wood when dry). The savings of using a PET strap in comparison to the steel band are up to fifty percent higher since the PET strap is cheaper and the price per meter is lower.

New, high-quality polyester straps

The polyester bands are characterized by a very high tensile strength and a great possibility of elongation. These are decisive when it comes to choosing a safe packaging method. Unlike steel strips, polyester has a greater stiffness in stretching and much better absorbing impacts and various effects during transport. For connection of PET strips we use manual, pneumatic, and battery staplers, for example, TES battery strapping tool from 12 to 16mm or TES Plus battery strapping tool for 16 to 19mm or battery strapping tool Messersi MB820.

Polyester bands are the most economical and environmentally friendly bands.

The contemporary polyester strap offers a number of advantages:

This tape has excellent mechanical properties. This includes high strength, extreme stretchability, and high tensile strength. These characteristics are reflected in:

• Low possibility of damage or contamination of packaged products (high corrosion resistance)
• Mitigation of damage during transport
• Lower pressure on the edges of the packed material
• Securing packed material
• Maintaining the voltage in case the package shrinks during storage or transportation
• Smaller options break
• At lower material costs (up to fifty percent)
• Simpler and cleaner maintenance
