Zero Compromise on Safety in Woven Polyester Strapping Manufacturing

WOVEN POLYESTER STRAPPING

In industrial packaging and cargo securing, safety is paramount. Woven polyester strapping plays a crucial role in transportation safety, and any compromise in manufacturing standards can lead to severe consequences, including product failure, property damage, and even loss of life.

Why Safety Standards Matter

Woven polyester strapping is designed to withstand extreme conditions, from high tension and pressure to exposure to various environmental factors. To ensure its reliability, stringent safety and quality control measures must be in place at every stage of production. These standards are not just guidelines but essential requirements that safeguard users, businesses, and the entire supply chain. Cutting corners can lead to:

•     Load Failures: Weak strapping can cause cargo shifts or falls.
•     Workplace Hazards: Increased risk of injury due to breakage.
•     Financial Losses: Damage to goods, legal liabilities, and reputational harm.

Narrowtex’s Commitment to Safety

At Narrowtex, our woven polyester strapping is manufactured under strict quality control protocols, ensuring compliance with international safety standards such as ISO 9001. Our commitment to excellence includes:

•     High-Quality Materials: Premium polyester fibers for strength and durability.
•     Advanced Weaving Techniques: Precision interlocking for optimal load-bearing capacity.
•     Rigorous Testing: Assessments for tensile strength, elongation, and environmental resistance.
•     Industry Compliance: Adhering to international safety certifications.

The Industry’s Responsibility

Manufacturers must uphold the highest safety standards—there are no shortcuts. Businesses should verify the quality of their strapping materials and choose suppliers that prioritize safety.

    AAR CERTIFIED WOVEN POLYESTER LASHING AND COMPOSITE STRAPPING

    by MRossouw

    Narrowtex is a quality manufacturer and exporter of strapping and lashing products to the USA and other global markets for over 50 years.

    Container Lashing from Narrowtex is manufactured to ensure a safe and secure cargo lashing system. The Narrowtex range of cargo lashing is marketed under the brand NARROLASH™ and the comprehensive range of products can accommodate various cargo securing systems.

    The Narrowtex range of lashing systems ensure that cargo transported by either road, rail or sea freight will arrive at its destination without damage.

    Narrowtex Composite/Cord Strapping is manufactured from high tenacity polyester yarns and encased in a high-quality polymer coating. Composite Strapping, also referred to as cord strap or synthetic steel, is an effective alternative to steel strapping, metal banding and plastic strapping. Composite Strapping does not rust and therefore will not damage precious cargo during transit and storage.

    Composite strapping is designed to absorb impacts and load shifting during transit and unlike steel strapping will not snap or break.

    We are excited to share that the following lashing and composite (cord) strapping products have been certified to meet the requirements of the Association of American Railroads’ (AAR) open top loading rules:

    – Type 1A polyester woven lashing (111NSAW) 1 ¼ inch with MBS of 3 258 lbs.
    – Type 1A polyester woven lashing (NW103) 1 ½ inch with MBS of 5 400 lbs.
    – Type 1A polyester woven lashing (NW 152) 1 5/8 inch with MBS of 7 700 lbs.
    – Type 1A composite strap (NC105) 1 ¼ inch with MBS of 3 285 lbs.
