A COST-EFFECTIVE AND SAFE STEEL STRAP ALTERNATIVE
NARROWTEX STRAPPING
COMPOSITE/CORD STRAPPING
Narrowtex Composite Strapping is manufactured from high tenacity polyester yarns and encased in a high-quality polymer coating. Composite Strapping, also referred to as cord strap or synthetic steel, is an effective alternative to steel strapping, metal banding and plastic strapping. Composite Strapping does not rust and therefore will not damage precious cargo during transit and storage.
Composite strapping is designed to absorb impacts and load shifting during transit and unlike steel strapping will not snap or break. Narrowtex Composite Strapping (NC) is recommended to be used with Phosphate Buckles for optimum system performance.
Consider Narrowtex Composite Strapping (NC) for a cost-effective and superior solution to your cargo securing needs. Contact Narrowtex strapping specialists for further technical information as well as demonstrations or solutions to your specialised packing needs.
CUSTOMISATIONS
Narrowtex Composite Strapping can be printed. This is often requested by our clients to indicate break strength as well as promote their brand identity.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Some of the key characteristics of Narrowtex composite strapping are:
- The stiffness of composite strapping makes it easy to feed the strapping under pallets.
- Composite Strapping is a safer alternative to Steel Banding.
- The polymer encasing/shell ensures that during packing our Composite Strapping is not compromised by sharp edges or rough surfaces.
- Our state-of-the-art in-house laboratory ensures that the mixture used in our polymer provides for a consistent compound in every batch of strapping manufactured.
- Narrowtex offers an Association of American Railroad (AAR) certified composite strapping product (NC 105 GL AAR).
