Recently, we visited a large steel manufacturing and slitting facility in Melbourne where our 19mm Heavy Duty PET is used daily to secure heavy steel coils. This site handles some of the toughest packaging applications in the industry, where reliability, consistency, and safety are essential. Our heavy duty PET Strapping performs exceptionally well in this demanding environment — delivering the strength and weld reliability required for high-tension coil strapping.
Why is MPS PET Strapping the Preferred Choice for Steel Coils
Our PET8MHD is designed for heavy-duty industrial use, especially in steel and metal processing applications. With a breaking strength of 830kg, it offers high tensile performance that rivals steel strap, while providing the flexibility, cost saving and safety benefits of polyester. This makes it ideal for strapping large, heavy coils that must remain secure during transport and handling.
High Weldability and Reliability Under Tension
One of the key advantages of PET8MHD is its superior weldability, even under high tension. The material has been engineered for consistent friction weld performance with battery powered strapping tools, reducing the risk of joint failure and ensuring every strap is secure. This is especially important in automated or semi-automatic strapping systems, where performance consistency translates directly to uptime and productivity.
Dense Molecular Structure for Corner Resistance
PET8MHD is produced using a high-density PET resin, which results in a more compact molecular structure. With its split additive This makes the strap less prone to cracking or breaking around sharp steel coil edges, a common issue with lower-grade PET straps. The dense polymer structure also provides greater stiffness, improving feeding through strapping machines and allowing for higher strap tension without elongation.
Manufactured from 100% Virgin PET
Unlike standard PET straps made from mixed or recycled materials, PET8MHD is produced from 100% virgin PET resin. Using virgin material ensures greater consistency in the polymer structure, resulting in higher tensile strength, better elongation recovery, and improved weld reliability. This purity and consistency are key to the strap’s performance under tension. Virgin PET also resists brittleness and edge cracking, maintaining strength even after long periods of storage or exposure to varying conditions.
