Steel Strapping for Packaging and ABNT NBR 6653:2025 Standard: Excellence and Security in Logistics

In the Brazilian industrial landscape, cargo security is governed by strict regulations. The most critical standard for the strapping sector is ABNT NBR 6653. Recently updated, the ABNT NBR 6653:2025 version establishes the minimum requirements for the manufacture and supply of cold-rolled steel strapping.

At Juhong Packing Materials, we understand that compliance is just the starting point. We produce steel bands that not only comply with but exceed these standards, ensuring your cargo arrives safely whether it's crossing the Atlantic or navigating Brazil's highways.


Understanding FE-1, FE-2, and FE-3 Grades under NBR 6653

The standard classifies steel strapping into three primary categories based on their mechanical properties and industrial applications. Choosing the right grade is crucial for cost-efficiency and safety:

Grade FE-1 (Low Carbon & Galvanized)

Galvanized Steel Strapping Ribbon Wound Simple Rolls FE-1 NBR 6653 Juhong Packing

Galvanized Simple Rolls

  • Characteristics: These straps are often coated to provide high resistance to atmospheric corrosion while maintaining reliable mechanical strength.

  • Applications: Ideal for automatic strapping machines and environments requiring protection against oxidation. At Juhong, our Galvanized Steel Strapping is the top choice for this grade.

Grade FE-2 (Black Painted & Waxed Steel Strapping)

  • Characteristics: Cold-rolled steel straps that are heat-treated to achieve high tensile strength and medium elongation.

  • Applications: This is the "industry standard" for logistics. Juhong’s Black Painted (Lacquered) Steel Strapping is highly sought after in Brazil for its durability and consistent tensioning on pallets.

Grade FE-3 (High Tensile / Heavy Duty)

  • Characteristics: Engineered with a superior heat-treatment process, FE-3 offers the best combination of high breaking strength and high elongation.

  • Applications: Designed for Special Packaging and heavy-duty loads (like steel coils, lumber, or mining equipment) that endure severe shocks during transit.

Why settle for the minimum requirement? At Juhong Packing Materials, our internal quality control standards are set significantly higher than the ABNT NBR 6653 baseline. The table below compares the Minimum Standard Requirement against Juhong’s Actual Production Specifications.

      (Min. Tensile Strength)

Juhong Product Series

Juhong Specification

 (Tensile Strength)

FE-1 (Regular Duty) 450-550 Mpa Terra/Ridge
650-750 Mpa
FE-2 (Medium Tensile) 685 - 835 MPa Pivot / Duro 830 - 930 MPa
FE-3 (High Tensile) 980 MPa Nexa / Ultimax 980 - 1020 MPa

(Note: We provide a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) with every shipment to prove these values.)


Technical Specifications: Dimensions and Tolerances

To be compliant with ABNT NBR 6653:2025, the strapping must adhere to strict dimensional tolerances. Juhong ensures precision in every coil:

  • Standard Widths: Ranging from 9.52 mm up to 32.00 mm.

  • Thickness Range: From 0.40 mm up to 1.27 mm.

  • Precision Tolerance: For standard straps, we maintain a strict thickness tolerance of only ±0.03 mm.

  • Straightness (Camber): Maximum allowed is 5.0 mm in a 2,000 mm sample, ensuring smooth feeding in tools.


Surface Finishes and Corrosion Protection

Juhong provides various finishes to protect the steel against Brazil’s tropical humidity and salt spray:

  1. Blued Steel (Oxidation): Provides a basic layer of rust resistance.

  2. Lacquered or Painted: Our black coating offers superior protection and a professional look (Standard for FE-2/FE-3).

  3. Zinc Coated (Galvanized): For the most demanding corrosive environments.

  4. Waxing (Encerada): All our straps are supplied waxed to ensure low friction and better tension distribution during the sealing process.
