NARROWTEX SA PRODUCTS

The Narrowtex range of polyester woven strapping is the ideal solution for various applications as the strapping does not split, is flexible, is as strong as steel, is lightweight and portable and can be used universally. 

Container Lashing from Narrowtex is manufactured to ensure a safe and secure cargo lashing system for transportation by road, rail or sea freight. NARROLASH™ is the most versatile and flexible of all non-metallic lashing,

Narrowtex Composite Strapping (cord strap/synthetic steel) is manufactured from high tenacity polyester yarns, encased in a high-quality polymer coating and is an effective alternative to steel/plastic strapping and metal banding.

Narrowtex bonded/hot melt strapping has many advantages over conventional manually applied products such as steel straps, metal banding, rope, plastic straps and stretch film. It is applied in a faster, safer and more cost-effective way.

For maximum efficiency and durability, the strapping systems supplied by Narrowtex offers a range of strapping hardware, including buckles, tensioners, and dispensers.

Narrowtex is a principal manufacturer of a wide range of quality industrial webbings, in various colours, widths, textures, materials and intricate designs. 

Narrowtex offers a wide range of curtain header tapes with varying widths to elevate curtains or blinds with perfect effects of pleating, gathering, ruffling or stiffening.
