What Is Blue & Waxed Steel Strapping?

Definition and Material Characteristics

Blue steel strapping adopts a special non-leadheat treatment process. At the same time, the formation of bluing film on the surface of the steel strapping and then coated a layer of water wax to form the double protection. It has excellent anti-corrosion performance to ensure long-lasting durability. Smooth and burr-free edges ensure safe handling. Customizable width and thickness to meet your specific packaging requirements. Reliable and efficient strapping solutions.

Why Blue Tempered Steel Is Preferred in Heavy Industries

Blue tempered steel strapping is the gold standard for heavy-duty load securement due to its engineered balance of performance characteristics, critical for rigorous industrial applications.

1. Superior Strength and Stress Relief

The blue finish is achieved through a precise tempering heat treatment. This process is vital as it:

  • Maximizes Tensile Strength: Ensures the strapping can withstand the extreme tension required to secure dense, heavy loads like steel coils, lumber, and machinery.

  • Enhances Ductility (Toughness): The tempering step relieves internal stresses that build up during cold rolling. This dramatically reduces the steel's brittleness, allowing the strap to absorb impact and vibration during transit without snapping.

2. High Fatigue Resistance

In heavy industrial logistics, loads are constantly subjected to dynamic movement and shock. Juhong's Blue Steel Strapping offers excellent fatigue resistance, maintaining its integrity and tension over long durations, ensuring cargo stability throughout the supply chain.

3. Corrosion Protection and Cost-Effectiveness

Choosing Juhong Blue Steel Strapping offers a clear advantage in strength and value, balanced against corrosion needs

  • Corrosion Ranking: The blue oxide layer provides a foundational barrier against atmospheric moisture, but its protection is lower than Painted & Waxed and the superior Galvanized steel strapping.

  • The Economic Advantage: This is where Blue Steel excels. If your operating environment is relatively dry, with low humidity and no extreme corrosion risks, Blue Tempered Strapping offers unbeatable cost-efficiency. It delivers high-tensile strength and basic protection at a highly economical price point.

  • Choosing the Right Strap: If your application involves high humidity, outdoor storage, or exposure to harsh weather, we recommend upgrading to our Painted & Waxed or Galvanized Steel Strapping for enhanced corrosion resistance.
