Uses of Polypropylene Strapping
Polypropylene strapping is widely used to secure and stabilise products during storage and transport by tightly bundling cartons, pallets and packaged goods. This helps to prevent items from shifting, moving or becoming damaged during transport. It is suitable for a wide range of applications and is ideal for lightweight to medium-duty packages. Polypropylene strapping can be applied quickly using manual tools or through automated strapping machines to create a secure hold over the products.
For additional protection, polypropylene strapping can be combined with other packaging solutions such as stretch wrap or protective foam corners to provide extra reinforcement for heavier or long-distance travel.
Environmental Impact
Is it recyclable?
Polypropylene strapping is recycled in many areas and is processed through a specialist plastic recycling centre, depending on the local recycling facilities and collection systems.
Is it reusable?
Polypropylene strapping can be reused in some applications if it remains in good condition after removal
Is it made from toxic materials?
It is generally non-toxic and is safe to handle during normal use. It doesn’t pose any risk. However, it should not be ingested and should be kept away from small children and pets due to its suffocation hazard. It should also not be burned outside of controlled industrial processes due to harmful fumes.
