Polyester Tightening Strap  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

As there are many different terms for “glued polyester strapping”, confusion is often the result when trying to find the right product. Many suppliers are referring to “HM”, meaning “Hot-Melt” – hot-glue-strapping. Polyester filaments are not woven but glued together using hot glue. The standard terminology for this product is “Polyester Strapping”. Due to the many filaments which can be seen through the glue when stretching the strapping, many suppliers also call it filament-band of filament-structure-strapping. The very first strapping bands of this kind were called “WG”, standing for “Weather Guard”. What remained from that term are the letters “WG” contained in the item number. So the item number always contains the kind of strapping and also gives information as to the width and the tensile strength. A WG50, f.ex. stands for a 16 mm glued filaments strapping with a length of 850 m and 450 daN linear tensile strength. The WG55 stands for a glued 16mm polyester strapping – other than the WG 50, it is the Heavy Duty type with a linear tensile strength of 600 daN and 600 m length.
