Woven & Corded Polyester Strapping
Woven Polyester Strappingwas introduced to the UK market approximately ten years ago in order to present an alternative non extruded polyester strapping material to the corded strapping that had dominated the market for many years and the key diference betweeen the two materials is that as the description suggests woven strapping is manufactured in the same way as braiding used on rucksacks, whereas corded strapping uses the faster and cheaper production method involved in simply gluing together strands of polyester cord to form a wide web.Both woven and corded polyester strapping materials are generally suitable for the same type of application the difference in performance being that the woven polyester strapping doesn't split whereas corded strapping can sometimes split along its length. It is the case that sometimes this is interpreted as being a disadvantage and yet in reality it makes no difference at all to the load bearing characteristics of the strap and the safety of the load. In terms of range of specifications availble the Cordstrap offers a much wider choice as well as a more cost effective solution.
