ASC Steel Strapping
ASC physical characteristics
ASC Steel Strapping:
ASC strapping is available in a wide range of sizes and gauges to accommodate your strapping requirements. Our edge conditioned strapping ensures a safe, rounded edge that is problem-free during application. Our high tensile and regular duty strapping conforms to Government ASTM specifications.
All ASC Hi Tensile strapping is AAR rated and stamped.
Coil winding:
ASC steel strapping is coiled in either an oscillated pattern or into the width of the strap (ribbon wound).
 |
Oscillated: The steel strapping is wound in a tight uniform pattern to a coil width between 2 1/2" to 2 7/8".
|
 |
Ribbon: The steel strapping is wound onto itself so that the width of the coil is the same as the strap.
|
Finishes:
All finishes are treated with a hard wax coating- a special ASC "hot dip" process. This lubrication allows the strapping to flow smoothly in automatic machines, tools and around corners of products.
 Painted strapping:
A hard baked-on gloss applied to both sides of the strap to help the flow characteristics of the strapping. Various colors available. Please inquire.
UnPainted Regular Duty Steel Strapping, Waxed:
A low carbon product for many general applications. This is a special product for use where paint is not desired in the manufacturing process. It is also very cost effective for any situation where oxidization of the strapping is not a factor. Unpainted strap is an economical alternative that offers similar characteristics as painted strap with less cost.
Blued Regular Duty Steel Strapping, Blued & Waxed, MG:
A mild carbon product for most general applications. The surface finish is blued by a flame process rather than painted. By bluing the steel you burn off foreign material from the steel. Blued strap is an economical alternative that offers similar characteristics as painted strap with less cost.
Zinc:
Commonly used for prolonged outside storage, this finish offers greater rust resistance than regular painted material.
Pro Zinc Gold:
This product has superior anti-corrosive properties as compared to black paint and zinc epoxy coated strapping. With the special manufacturing process of this product there is no zinc/paint residue to clog up feedwheel tools. This is a superior corrosion resistant product that can be used in most strapping applications. Over time this product will give you the most value for your purchasing dollar. Pro Zinc Gold works exceedingly well in all tools and automated systems.
Packaging:
Oscillated wound steel strapping coils are shrouded. Skids are normally shroud wrapped with cardboard for protection in transit. Ribbon wound steel strapping is normally packaged bare coiled onto the skid.
Regular Duty: Manufactured to meet rigid quality specifications and close tolerances. ASC Regular Duty strapping is ideal for all general applications and is available in a number of different finishes, widths and gauges.
 High Tensile: High Tensile strapping is manufactured for optimum results in every application. Cold rolled steel of a high carbon and manganese analysis is heat treated to ensure uniform tensile and elongation characteristics. High tensile is a product that combines high strength and shock resistance for many applications such as unitizing compressed bales, securing heavy steel coils and open top car and trailer loading. ASC high tensile is AAR rated and marked.
