There are many advantages of using this strapping, with a major advantage being that they could be joined using a variety of methods based on the application. With stainless steel strapping, you will experience the next level in the benefits offered by steel strapping.
Advantages over Other Strapping Materials
One of the main advantages is that it offers better elongation and improved break strength. Besides, it has excellent weather friendly properties. It is not going to corrode and is capable of resisting the ultraviolet radiations. The additional percentage of chromium in the alloy helps provide the extra level of anti-corrosion benefits.
Applications
Stainless steel strapping is suited for applications in almost all kinds of industries. It can also be used in heavy industries, even those where extreme conditions exist. This includes petro chemical, telecom, thermal and even industrial piping industries.
Another unique characteristic to this strapping is that it doesn’t rust. It is also extremely durable and can withstand all kinds of wear and tear.
