Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PAC STRAPPING PRODUCTS from 3G Electric.
What strap widths are available for PAC Strapping Products heavy-duty buckles?
PAC Strapping Products heavy-duty buckles for poly cord strapping are available for strap widths of 1/2 in, 5/8 in, 3/4 in, 1 in, and 1 1/4 in. Each buckle model is sized to match a specific strap width, and the seal inside width corresponds to the strap width. For example, the XHDB-8-PHOS model has a 1 in seal inside width for 1 in strap. Buckles are supplied in packs of 250, 500, or 1,000, depending on the model. When selecting a buckle, confirm the strap width and the required break strength for the application.
What is the difference between galvanized and phosphated finishes on PAC Strapping Products buckles?
Galvanized and phosphated finishes are two surface treatments offered on PAC Strapping Products steel buckles. Galvanized buckles have a zinc coating that provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for humid or outdoor environments. Phosphated buckles have a conversion coating that offers mild corrosion resistance and can improve paint or lubricant adhesion. Both finishes are available on heavy-duty buckles for poly cord strapping. The choice depends on the operating environment and the level of corrosion protection required. Galvanized models include XHDB-125-GALV, XHDB-5-GALV, XHDB-6-GALV, and HDB-4A GAL. Phosphated models include XHDB-6-PHOS.177 and XHDB-8-PHOS.
What components are included in the PAC Strapping Products strapping tool kit?
The PAC Strapping Products strapping tool kit includes a tensioner, buckles, and a tool box. The kit is designed for securing loads with poly cord strapping. Two standard kits are available: one for 1/2 in strap width with a break strength of 1,279 lb and 3,624 ft of strapping (MPN CORD KIT RD 1/2"), and one for 5/8 in strap width with a break strength of 1,500 lb and 2,000 ft of strapping (MPN CORD KIT RD 5/8"). The tensioner in the kit is a manual tool that applies tension to the strap before sealing with a buckle. The tool box provides storage for the components.
What are the break strengths of PAC Strapping Products poly cord strapping kits?
PAC Strapping Products poly cord strapping kits are specified with break strengths that vary by strap width. The 1/2 in kit (CORD KIT RD 1/2") has a break strength of 1,279 lb and includes 3,624 ft of strapping. The 5/8 in kit (CORD KIT RD 5/8") has a break strength of 1,500 lb and includes 2,000 ft of strapping. Break strength indicates the maximum load the strapping can withstand before failing. These values are for the strapping itself, not the assembled joint. The actual joint strength depends on the buckle and tensioning method used.
Are PAC Strapping Products buckles compatible with semi-automatic strapping machines?
PAC Strapping Products buckles are designed for use with poly cord strapping and can be applied with manual tensioners or semi-automatic machines, depending on the machine's design. The buckles are separate components that are placed on the strap and crimped or sealed. Semi-automatic strapping machines in the PAC Strapping Products line may use specific buckle types or may use heat sealing or friction welding instead. Compatibility depends on the machine model and the strap material. For semi-automatic operation, consult the machine specifications to confirm the sealing method and buckle requirements.
What pack quantities are available for PAC Strapping Products heavy-duty buckles?
PAC Strapping Products heavy-duty buckles for poly cord strapping are supplied in packs of 250, 500, or 1,000, depending on the model. For example, the XHDB-125-GALV (1 1/4 in strap width) comes in a 250-pack. The XHDB-6-PHOS.177 (3/4 in strap width) and XHDB-8-PHOS (1 in strap width) come in 500-packs. The XHDB-5-GALV (5/8 in strap width), XHDB-6-GALV (3/4 in strap width), and HDB-4A GAL (1/2 in strap width) come in 1,000-packs. Pack quantity affects the unit cost and is typically chosen based on consumption rate and storage capacity.
