The meteorological disturbances resulting from climate change<\/strong> \u2014such as extreme heat waves, sudden fluctuations in humidity, and episodes of intense cold\u2014 not only affect the global environment. In the industrial environment, these climate changes directly impact the physical and mechanical behavior of packaging consumables and the stability of loads during transport.<\/p>\n

In Sorsa Packaging Systems, SA.<\/strong>, As specialists with decades of experience in strapping and securing goods solutions, we analyze how to protect your supplies to avoid production losses and unplanned stoppages on the packaging line.<\/p>\n

Why does climate change affect polyester (PET) strapping?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The polyester (PET) strapping<\/strong> It has become established as the ideal substitute for steel strapping due to its high toughness, elasticity, and shock absorption. However, being a polymeric material, it exhibits hygrothermal sensitivity<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Thermal shocks and high temperatures:<\/strong> Prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight alters the modulus of elasticity of the plastic. This reduces the residual stress retained under load and can lead to deformation of the coil.<\/li>\n
  2. Humidity variations:<\/strong> Environments with high relative humidity or condensation in the plant can superficially degrade the strapping and hinder friction welding or heat sealing in the heads of automatic strapping machines.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Poor storage combined with climatic variations increases the risk of mechanical breakage, welding failures, and unnecessary material waste.<\/p>\n

    Best practices for optimal storage of PET strapping<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To ensure that the material maintains its breaking and elongation properties intact, in Sorsa<\/strong> We recommend following these storage guidelines:<\/p>\n
