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.
