Strapping and Strapping Tools
Steel Strapping
Steel strapping is also called as metal banding straps that are used in most demanding applications such as bundling heavy duty loads and high temperature environments. FROMM stocks a wide variety of both standard duty and high tensile oscillated / ribbon wound steel strapping, which is compatible with our range of manual and pneumatic steel strapping hand tools.
Steel banding straps are designed with the specifications needed to meet the demands of a specific range of applications in a variety of industries.

How to use steel strapping tools ?
When it comes to almost any task in your plant, you want to use the right banding tools for the job. There are so many reasons to make sure you have the right equipment, from saving money to helping your team be more productive. We have compiled a series of videos on how to use the steel banding tools.
Polyester Strapping
High Performance Polyester Strap
Polyester is one of the most rigid of all strapping materials. It elongates significantly less than polypropylene and retains tension over a longer period. Because polyester offers the greatest strength and highest retained tension of all plastic strapping, it is frequently used on heavy duty loads that need high initial tension along with high retained tension during handling and storage.
Polyester is available in both machine grade and hand grade, smooth or embossed,

Features
- No damage or contamination of packaging goods (Corrosion-resistant)
- High shock absorption in case of impacts during transportation
- Less pressure on edges of packages (Corner Protectors often not needed)
- Strap tension remains tight in cases where the package may shrink during storage or transportation
- Substitution of steel strapping by STARstrap™ Polyester allows the use of strapping with less breaking strength
- Reduction of material costs (up to 50% savings)
- Less risk of injury in case of strapping breakages
- Easy and clean handling compared to steel strapping (recyclable)

Cord Strapping

Description
Woven polyester cord strapping is the versatile nonmetal strapping material manufactured from polyester fibres that are woven in a multi-directional pattern, weaving both horizontally and vertically. It’s high tenacity low creep polyester threads makes the strapping strong as steel and has good resistance to friction. Cord strapping can be applied easily with hand tools, using buckles or seals. In addition to the regular duty and heavy-duty woven cord strapping, we offer composite cord strapping, which is made up of polyester fibres that are woven vertically and coated by clear polypropylene. This coating gives the stiffness to the polyester cord strapping. These composite cord straps are used with galvanized wire buckles, so the stiff composite straps can thread effortlessly to secure your package.
