Flame Retardant Polyesther Strapping (White with the red stripe tracer liner)

Ultra Strapping FR: A Fire-Retardant, Safer Alternative to Steel Banding

If you’re still using steel strapping to secure equipment, materials, or shipping loads, there’s a smarter and safer option—Ultra Strapping FR, also known as Red Stripe Safety Strapping.

This woven polyester strap looks tough and performs even tougher, all while being lightweight, fire-retardant, and safer to handle than traditional steel banding.

Fire-Retardant Strapping That Meets the NFPA Standard

Ultra Strapping FR has red tracer lines ("Red Stripe") and is certified to meet NFPA 701-2023 (Test 1)—the fire safety standard for textiles and films. This makes it a go-to choice for fire-sensitive environments, including use by the U.S. Navy, where safety is non-negotiable.

Why Use Ultra Strapping FR Instead of Steel?

✅ Stronger Than Steel (And Safer Too)

Ultra Strapping FR is engineered to match or exceed the break strength of steel strapping—without the risk of dangerous snapbacks or sharp edges.

✅ Lightweight and Easy to Handle

A full coil weighs only 1/4 as much as steel strapping, making it easier and safer to lift, carry, and apply—no special tools or heavy-duty tensioners needed.

✅ No Rust, No Damage

Unlike steel, this strapping won’t rust, stain, or damage the items it’s securing. Great for sensitive equipment or moisture-prone environments.

✅ Reduce Workplace Injuries

Because it's soft and flexible, Ultra Strapping FR eliminates the sharp edges and tension failures that lead to back injuries, lacerations, and other worker comp issues.

✅ Reusable and Re-Tensionable

Strap once, and if needed, adjust or reuse without waste. That’s something steel can’t do.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Applications

Ultra Strapping FR is used in industries and environments where strength, safety, and fire retardancy are critical, including:

• U.S. Navy vessels & military installations

• Aerospace and aviation maintenance

• Electrical & telecom equipment transport

• Warehousing and manufacturing plants

• Shipboard and marine containment zones
