PET Plastic Strapping – The Problem of Brittle PET Strapping in Cold Weather Has Been Easily Solved

PET strapping, also known as PET plastic strapping, is a popular international alternative to steel strapping. It is widely used in heavy industries such as steel, aluminum, chemical fiber, cotton textiles, tobacco, paper, metal can manufacturing, and brick factories to ensure safe product transportation.

As the weather gets colder, the logistics and packaging industries face significant challenges in using PET strapping. PET strapping becomes brittle in cold weather, leading to problems such as: loose packaging, goods scattering during transport, wasting time and potentially causing losses.

Why does PET strapping become brittle at low temperatures?

Primarily due to the material properties of PET. Lower temperatures reduce molecular activity, decreasing the strapping's flexibility and making it more prone to breakage with slight force.

Solutions:

✅Choose high-quality PET strapping: High-quality PET strapping performs more stably in low-temperature environments. Always purchase from reputable manufacturers for quality assurance and stronger cold resistance. Straps with added special cold-resistant materials maintain good flexibility even at low temperatures.

✅Proper storage management: Maintain a stable warehouse temperature for PET strapping, avoiding sudden temperature drops. Install temperature control equipment to keep the temperature within a suitable range. If this is not possible, wrap the strapping in insulation material to reduce contact with cold air.

Try these methods to ensure your plastic strapping remains stable even in cold weather, and you'll never have to worry about it cracking again!
