Hotmelt polyester strapping is substitute product of strapping in the past called „Weatherguard“. Since Weatherguard was manufactured with cold glue, Hotmelt strapping is manufactured with hot glue technology. The polyester yarn strands are longitudinally bonded and covered with hot melt glue. Hotmelt strapping is used for light to medium duty applications. It is UV and humidity resistant, but sensitive to high or low air temperature. At low temperatures below 0°C the strap freezes, becomes stiffer and loses the elasticity, but all other features are not affected and once strapped, your merchandise can be stored outdoors at low temperatures without any restrictions. Due to its physical characteristics (hot melt glue), at high temperatures Hotmelt strapping becomes softer and could slip in the buckle under some circumstances (movement of strapped merchandise). Therefore, in this case for outdoors applications in warm regions with air temperatures much above 30°C

Woven strapping is produced in cross webbing technology. It is UV resistant, not sensitive to deep temperatures and can withstand high temperature up to 150°C. Due to these characteristics, it can be used outdoors without limits as well as, for example, in lumber drying chamber and it offers many other versatile solutions for special heavy duty applications in metal, lumber, automotive, steel industry etc. Standard strapping is white, produced in range from 5mm to 38mm and breaking strength from 120kg to 3000kg.
