Bsc Preferred PS4820 Polyester Strapping 2 Rolls

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED PS4820 is a high-tensile polyester strapping designed as an economical, non-corrosive alternative to steel strapping. Available in a 2-roll case, this strapping holds tension longer than polypropylene or comparable strapping types, making it suitable for securing heavy loads during transit and storage. It is approximately 80 percent lighter than steel strapping, which reduces worker fatigue and speeds up application. The UV-resistant construction extends service life in outdoor or mixed-environment applications. Compatible with serrated or sandpaper seals for secure, reliable closure.

The PS4820 is used in packaging, shipping, and warehousing operations where steel strapping has traditionally been the standard. It is well-suited for bundling heavy industrial goods, lumber, construction materials, and palletized freight. The combination of light weight and high retained tension makes it a practical choice for distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and contractors who require consistent load security without the handling risks associated with steel strapping. This product is equivalent to part number S-1655.

Installation Notes

Apply using a strapping tensioner and appropriate sealer tool rated for polyester strapping. Ensure the strapping tool is set to the correct tension for the load type - over-tensioning can damage lighter packaging. Store rolls in a dry location away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use, despite the UV-resistant coating. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting strapping under tension.
