Strapping

Polyester Strapping

Polyester has become the standard replacement for steel strapping. Its unique qualities make it ideal for securing any palletized load at substantial savings. Polyester provides excellent retained tension to stay tight on rigid loads and its superior recovery properties help to absorb impact without strap breakage. Our strapping meets strict quality requirements including AAR for our 5/8 heavy duty strap for both lumber and brick applications. Polyester also performs well in a wide range on environments. It is resistant to sunlight and performs well in hot and cold climates. It will not rust eliminating and concerns of staining. Embossed polyester provides superior performance in many machine brands. The embossing enhances the performance of the strap by increasing the resistance to split. It also provides greater flexibility to better conform to your package.

Polypropylene Strapping – Machine Grade

Polypropylene Strapping is the most economical of all strapping material making it ideal for light to moderate application. Carton closure, bundling, reinforcement, and unitizing are common uses for the flexible versatile strap. The flexibility of polypropylene allows the strap to contour to unusual shaped packages. Gulf’s embossed strapping accomplishes superior split resistance and more efficient seal joints. Our extensive offering of sizes and gauges perform consistently in all types of machines and seal joints.

Steel Strapping

Domestic steel strapping is made with pride in the USA to produce superior quality strapping which meet such specifications as ASTM D 3953, AAR, and USLM.

Regular Duty is a low carbon strapping produced for light to medium duty applications.

Hi-Strength uses a medium carbon to produce stronger tensile strengths. The thin gauges (.016-.018) offer regular duty characteristics using a lighter gauge. This provides additional footage per coil and fewer coil changes.

Hi-Strength is also an alternative to high tensile. The standard gauges (.020-.025) offer equal tensile strength allowing for substitution of high tensile where shock resistance is less of an issue.

Hi-Tensile is a high carbon strap treated with heat to provide superior elongation and tensile strength.

All strap is waxed and available in both black and zinc paint.
