What’s the Best Weld for Polyester Strapping?
Polyester strapping offers a much more flexible material that’s appropriate for all but the heaviest, non-compressible loads.Lets see about the different ways of creating closures for polyester straps. The strap is only as strong as its weakest link, after all, which is the point where it’s joined together.
So which method of closure should you be using when you use polyester?
Seals, Friction or Heat Welding
We have three choices for closing polyester strapping.
The Type of Strapping Equipment You Use
The type of closure you use for your polyester strapping might depend on the type of equipment you have.
Friction welds are used by all?hand strapping tools?as well as most semi-automatic and automatic?strapping machines. Friction welds have evolved to become the standard in the industry. However, there are still some machines being made with thermoelectric blades, but technology has started to limit their use.
