Cord Strap / Composite Strap

Cord Strap Features:

Cord straps / Composite Strap, also known as polyester cord strapping, are widely used for securing heavy loads during transportation and storage. Here are some key features:

High Strength & Durability

  • Made from high-tenacity polyester fibers, providing excellent tensile strength.
  • Stronger than standard plastic strapping and comparable to steel straps in some cases.

    • Flexibility & Shock Absorption

  • Can absorb shocks and impacts during transit, reducing the risk of cargo damage.
  • Maintains tension even when the load shifts.

    • Lightweight & Safe to Use

  • Weighs significantly less than steel strapping, making handling easier.
  • No sharp edges, reducing the risk of injuries.

    • Rust & Corrosion Resistant

  • Unlike steel straps, cord straps do not rust, making them ideal for long-term outdoor storage.

    • Weather & Chemical Resistance

  • Resistant to moisture, UV rays, and most chemicals, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

    • Easy to Handle & Apply

  • Can be tensioned manually or with a strapping tool.
  • No special skills required for application.

    • Reusability & Cost-Effectiveness

  • Some cord straps can be reused, making them an economical option.
  • Often more affordable than steel strapping.

    • Specifications of Cord Strap / Composite Strap

    Cord straps come in different types, sizes, and strengths depending on the application. Below are the general specifications for polyester cord strapping:

    Types of Cord Straps / Composite Strap

    • Composite Cord Strapping: Coated with a polymer for extra durability, resists moisture and abrasions.
    • Woven Cord Strapping: High flexibility and strength, ideal for heavy loads
    • Bonded Cord Strapping: Made of glued polyester fibers, used for medium-duty applications.

    Elongation & Tension Retention

    • Typically has 5% – 15% elongation, which helps absorb shock.
    • Maintains tension over time, unlike steel or plastic strapping.

    Temperature & Weather Resistance

    • Can withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C to 80°C)
    • Resistant to UV rays, moisture, and most chemicals

    Joint & Buckle Types

    • Phosphated/Bright Wire Buckles: For high-tension locking.
    • Galvanized Buckles: Corrosion-resistant for outdoor use.
    • Plastic Buckles: For light-duty applications.
