PETBänder

PETBänder is a term that generally refers to straps or bands made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate). PET is a thermoplastic polymer resin that is widely used in the production of fibers and films. PETBänder are known for their strength, durability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals. They are often used as an alternative to steel strapping in various industrial and packaging applications.

These bands are manufactured through processes that can involve extrusion or stretching of PET material to align the polymer chains, which significantly enhances their tensile strength. This makes PETBänder suitable for securing heavy loads, bundling goods, and providing structural integrity during transport and storage. Compared to traditional steel bands, PETBänder offer advantages such as being lighter, rust-proof, and less likely to cause damage to the packaged goods or personnel handling them.

The applications of PETBänder are diverse and include securing pallets of goods in warehouses, reinforcing cardboard boxes, binding industrial materials like pipes and coils, and in the agricultural sector for bundling crops. They can be applied using specialized strapping tools that tension and seal the bands, often through friction welding or by using metal seals. The recyclability of PET also makes PETBänder an environmentally conscious choice for many businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
