16mm Polyester PET Strapping 5760N Impact Resistant Polyester Strap Roll

I am the engineer who specifies this grade, and the 1609 is the reinforced step up from our lightweight 1608. It keeps the same 16 mm width but thickens the body from 0.8 mm to a full 0.9 mm, lifting the rated break strength to 5,760 N with 9%–13% elongation. The engineering point is that added tensile alone is not enough on medium-heavy loads: the reinforced section raises pressure resistance and impact resistance so the strap does not fracture where a light strap would. That makes the 1609 the grade I recommend when a factory has outgrown a light strap but does not yet need a heavy 19–25 mm band.

The 1609 coil. Same familiar 16 mm width, but the thicker 0.9 mm body is what carries the higher load rating and the added impact resistance.

Buyers already running our 1608 often ask what they gain by moving to the 1609. This is the comparison I give them:

The practical benefit: it is a drop-in upgrade. Existing 16 mm tools and machine settings stay unchanged, while load security rises.

On our production floor. The reinforced 0.9 mm section is run on the same lines as our standard grades, so thickness and tensile are held inside specification.

• Reinforced load capacity: thickened body raises tensile and load-bearing over conventional 16 mm light straps.
• Higher pressure resistance: the reinforced section resists crushing and edge pressure on dense medium-heavy goods.
• Impact resistance: retains flexibility while increasing strength, absorbing shock instead of fracturing rigidly.
• Stable tension: no loosening or deformation during long-term heavy stacking.
• Uniform force: the widened flat face spreads stress and prevents breakage under medium-heavy load.
• Rust-free and safe: no sharp edges, no burrs, no marking of goods.

On a medium-heavy load the failure mode is rarely pure tensile overload. It is usually a combination of pressure at the strap line, edge concentration on a hard corner, and impact shock in transit. Simply making a light strap wider does not fix this — the body still lacks the pressure and impact resistance. The 1609 increases the section thickness to 0.9 mm, which raises both the cross-sectional load capacity and the resistance to local deformation. Because the material retains elongation at 9%–13%, the strap still flexes and absorbs shock rather than cracking like a rigid band. That is the balance the grade is designed to strike.

Tensile testing station. I confirm the 5,760 N rating, the 9%–13% elongation window and the weld on every release — the seal is the usual system failure point.

Finished-goods storage. We hold stock across the standard range so mixed-SKU and repeat orders ship without a full production lead time.

Specified for medium-heavy industrial goods: factory heavy finished products, bulk materials, medium-heavy pallets, building material bundles and metal products — the group that sits above light-load packing but below the very heaviest steel-coil class. It is compatible with all mainstream automatic and semi-automatic strapping equipment.

Warehouse, inspection area and export loading under one roof — in-house control from extrusion through to container loading.

• Tensile verification: sample pulled to confirm the 5,760 N strength and 9%–13% elongation.
• Dimensional measurement: width, thickness and coil length checked against the 16 mm / 0.9 mm / 1,060 m specification.
• Surface and edge inspection: clean, uniform finish; smooth, non-scratching edge.
• Weld test: heat-seal joint verified to hold at full strength.

The company was selected for Hubei Province's 7th batch of Specialised, Refined, Differentiated and Innovative SMEs. Manufacturing is certified under quality, environmental and occupational health & safety management systems, and products carry SGS test reports — the file overseas buyers require for customs clearance, supply-chain audits and end-customer compliance review.

Company qualification file — business registration, enterprise and management-system certificates, open for audit before order placement.

Technical development record. R&D work targets strength consistency, production efficiency and product-life improvement.

Our manufacturing plant. The 1609 is extruded and drawn on our own lines, so section and tensile are controlled at source.

Production and quality team. Extrusion, drawing, inspection and packing are in-house — the reason specification and supply stay consistent order to order.

Each roll is wrapped in plastic protective film and stacked on standard wooden pallets, the pallet fully wrapped in stretch film against dust and moisture and secured with PET straps for stable loading — suitable for container and full-truck shipment. Pre-sales load matching and free sample testing are provided.

Export packaging and container loading. Dry, unitised and secured — ready to run on your line on arrival.

Container loading, verified before seal. Every order is checked for count, packaging integrity and moisture protection before shipment.

In-house process control. Running one recipe at volume is how we hold consistent quality, stable supply and factory pricing on the same roll.

Our engineering team. We match load, tooling and machine tension to the section before recommending a grade — so the strap you buy fits the equipment you already run.
