Cord strapping

Cord strapping is as strong as poly strapping and is also cost effective. It is also quite durable, so many industries are considering a switch over from steel strapping to cord or poly strapping. Cord strapping has proven over the years that it can hold great tension and is not as cumbersome as steel.

There are several options in cord strapping to choose from. They come in different widths and lengths and have great break strength, due to which it has gained popularity. Many industries who have switched over from steel, use poly strapping and cord strapping and believe that these two kinds of strapping are a very reliable alternative to steel strapping.

Cord strapping comes in three types. They are composite, bonded and woven. The composite cord is considered to be as strong as steel. Another feature of the cord strapping is that it does not use the traditional method of sealing. It does not use the friction weld sealing or the metal seals. It uses buckles to hold the strap in place.

Unlike its other strapping counterparts, the cord strapping does not use too many tools. It uses only one tool and that is the tensioner. The Golden Bear C11 is considered the best tensioner for the cord strapping. This tool can pull about 2,700 pounds of tension. It is also the most user friendly tool.
