Plastic strapping is widely used in the packaging industry to bundle items together and secure them to pallets for transport. They are most commonly made of polypropylene or polyester.

 

The challenge of testing this material is:

  • Gripping specimens

Instron's Solution:

  • Gripping specimens - Due to its high strength and thin profile, the appropriate gripping solution is the biggest challenge for testing plastic strapping.  The gripping solution must be able to provide a consistent gripping force.  Instron’s Custom Solution Group designed CP110544 30kN pneumatic side acting grip with jaw faces specifically designed for plastic strapping proved to be a successful gripping solution.
