Bsc Preferred PS5936 Polyester Strapping Roll

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED PS5936 is a heavy-duty polyester strapping roll designed as a direct alternative to steel strapping in packaging and shipping applications. Polyester strapping retains tension longer than polypropylene and other common strapping types, making it well suited for loads that settle or compress during transit. The material is non-corrosive and UV resistant, extending service life in outdoor or moisture-prone environments. At approximately 55 pounds per roll, it delivers comparable break strength to steel strapping while being significantly lighter and easier to handle on the job. Seal with serrated or sandpaper-type seals.

The PS5936 is used in industrial packaging operations where high-tension bundling or unitizing is required. Typical applications include securing heavy cartons, lumber, metal coils, bricks, and palletized goods. This strapping is compatible with standard strapping tools and tensioners used in warehouse and distribution center environments. It is an economical replacement for steel strapping in scenarios where corrosion resistance and lighter weight handling are priorities.

Key Features

• Non-corrosive polyester construction resists rust and degradation in wet or outdoor conditions
• UV resistant formulation for use in sun-exposed storage and shipping environments
• Retains tension longer than polypropylene strapping, reducing load shift during transit
• Significantly lighter than steel strapping for easier manual handling and tool operation
• Compatible with serrated and sandpaper-style seals for standard crimp or friction-weld application
• Comparable performance to Signode 1816 steel strapping at a lower material cost

Compatibility

The PS5936 is an equivalent replacement for part number S-3855 and is comparable to Signode 1816. Designed for use with standard polyester strapping tensioners and sealers in general industrial packaging applications.

Installation Notes

Apply using a compatible polyester strapping tensioner and sealer rated for the strapping width and thickness of this roll. Ensure the tensioner is set to the appropriate tension level for the load type to avoid over-tensioning or product damage. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling strapping under tension, as sudden release can cause injury. Store the roll in a cool, dry location away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use.
