Non-metallic strapping is lightweight and safe to use. Because of it's excellent properties, non-metallic strapping can be used n abroad range of applications. It is very economical since it has more footage than a coil of steel and therefore at a lower cost per foot. It is also easier to handle. Modern International offers 3 different non-metallic strapping products: Polypropylene StrappingPolyester StrappingCord StrappingSTRAPPINGPolypropylene StrappingPolypropylene Strapping is manufactured using the latest technological developments. It is produced with the highest standards to obtain consistent quality and a high degree of reliability. High strength, good elongation and excellent recovery are only a few of the characteristics of this strapping. It is an ideal choice for light and medium duty packaging needs. Polypropylene strapping meets all requirements for machine and manual applications. Polyester StrappingPolyester Strapping is tougher than Polypropylene. It more closely resembles steel strapping in its physical characteristics and performance. Polyester has the lowest elongation of all non-metallic strapping materials. It can absorb shock while retaining it's tension around a package. It is split resistant and less notch sensitive than other strapping. Being virtually unaffected by environmental factors, this product is an excellent alternative to steel. Cord StrappingRayon or Polyester cord is another choice in non-metallic strapping. Ideal for hand applications. Polyester cord strapping can be secured with a metal seal, a buckle, or even a knot. Polyester cord has superior strength, whereas rayon provides a more efficient knot.
