Glvanized Steel Strapping
Blue Tempered (The Most Economical Solution):
Also known as "Blued Steel," this is our most cost-effective and economical option. The uniform blue-black oxide layer is achieved through a stable heat-treatment process, ensuring consistent tensile strength and elongation. It is widely used for packaging steel coils and hot-rolled coils where basic protection is required.
Galvanized (Superior Rust Protection):
Our galvanized steel straps offer the highest level of corrosion resistance. The thick zinc coating provides a durable barrier against moisture and oxidation, making it the best choice for long-term outdoor storage or non-ferrous metal packaging in harsh environments.
Black Painted (Best Overall Value):
Painted steel strapping offers the best overall performance and value. With a specialized paint layer (3-6 micrometers), it doubles the rust protection compared to standard blued steel while providing superior lubrication for tensioning. It is the most versatile solution for general industrial bundling and export packaging.
Verified Product Specifications for AAR OTLR

Quality Assurance & Performance Testing
AAR-Grade Tensile Strength and Elongation
To demonstrate the superior performance of our AAR-certified steel strapping, we conducted rigorous head-to-head testing in our laboratory.
Video A: Standard Steel Strapping Test
Video B: AAR-Certified High-Elongation Strapping Test
Focus: Demonstrates the high break strength and superior elongation (≥10%).
Key Insight: Our AAR-grade bands are engineered to stretch without snapping, absorbing the extreme dynamic forces of North American railcars.
Why Elongation Matters for AAR:
Unlike regular bands, our High Tensile Steel Securement Bands act like a "shock absorber." While standard straps might snap under sudden shifts, our AAR ID 124 bands (tested at 5,755 lbs) maintain their integrity through superior joint efficiency and elongation.

High-Temperature Securement for Hot-Rolled Coils (HRC)
The Challenge: Hot-rolled coils are often packed while still at high temperatures. As they cool, the metal expands and contracts, putting immense "snapping" pressure on the straps.
Our Solution: Our AAR-grade high-elongation strapping is designed to stretch and breathe with the coil. It maintains a tight grip without becoming brittle or snapping, even under extreme heat.
Customer Benefit: This is the safest and most reliable way to secure hot-rolled steel for long-distance transit.
![AAR_Certified_Steel_Strapping_for_Heavy-Duty_Wire_and_Cable_Bundling(1)]()
Shock-Absorbing Strapping for Wire Rods and High Cables
The Challenge: Wire rod coils and heavy cables are "springy" and shift constantly during crane lifting and ship loading.
Our Solution: Juhong’s high-tensile securement bands act like a shock absorber. They provide the elasticity needed to absorb sudden jolts during lifting, preventing the bundles from loosening or breaking.
Customer Benefit: Reduces cargo damage and ensures maximum safety for your workers and transport teams.

FAQs (Steel Strapping Expert Guide)
1.Why is high-elongation steel strapping essential for Hot-Rolled Coils (HRC)?
A:Hot-rolled coils are often packed at high temperatures. As the metal cools, it naturally contracts and shifts, creating immense pressure. Standard brittle bands often snap under this tension. Juhong’s AAR-grade high-elongation strapping (ID 124) acts like a shock absorber; it is engineered to "stretch and breathe" with the coil, ensuring the bundle remains tight and secure without snapping, even during cooling and long-distance rail transit.
2.How do I choose between Blue Tempered, Painted, and Galvanized finishes?
A:It depends on your budget and storage environment:
Blue Tempered (Blued Steel): The most economical and cost-effective solution for standard indoor packaging.
Black Painted: Offers the best overall value. Our 3-6μm paint layer provides double the rust protection of blue steel and smoother lubrication for your steel strapping tools.
Galvanized: The best rust-proof option. It is the ultimate choice for non-ferrous metals and cargo stored outdoors for long periods in high-moisture environments.
3.Is Juhong a certified AAR steel strapping manufacturer?
A:Yes. Juhong Packing is an officially AAR-verified manufacturer (ID 124). Our facility in Changzhou produces high-tensile steel bands that are verified by the Association of American Railroads under LR Number 1.17.069. This certification proves our products meet the highest safety standards for North American rail car securement.
4.Can your strapping handle the "snap" of heavy wire rod coils during lifting?
A:Absolutely. Heavy wire rods and cables are "springy" and shift constantly during crane lifting. Standard straps often fail due to sudden jolts. Juhong’s high-tensile securement bands feature superior elasticity and a breaking strength of up to 5,755 lbs (25,584 N). This high integrity ensures the straps absorb the shock of movement, preventing dangerous bundle failures during loading and unloading.
5.Does Juhong provide factory-direct shipping to North America, South America, and Europe?
A:Yes. As a leading global steel strapping supplier, we ship factory-direct to North America, Europe, and key South American markets including Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Peru. Our products are packed for long-distance maritime transit to ensure they arrive rust-free. We provide all necessary technical data and AAR ID 124 verification to help our clients pass strict safety and import audits in these regions.
