1 1997 SIGNODE AN ITW COMPANY APEX and MAGNUS Mod PC 2003 Strapping Standard strap finish/Steel For uncompromising quality and packaging effectiveness Consistent high quality makes Signode steel strapping the first choice among packaging professionals worldwide. Purchasing professionals also prefer Signode strapping because it is made to the most exacting tolerances, so it goes further and reduces their strapping costs. Types, sizes and finishes for all demanding applications Signode offers two basic types of steel strapping: Apex and Magnus. Each is specially formulated to meet the demands of a particular range of applications. And for each strapping type, there is a selection of sizes and finishes which matches the specific requirements of those applications. Apex strapping A cold-rolled, low carbon steel strapping. Manufactured with superior edge conditioning and coating. Magnus. strapping A cold-rolled, medium carbon steel strapping. Heat-treated with a Signode process that combines fine surface and controlled physical properties with high strength and excellent shock resistance. Standard strap finishes Signode produces two different steel strapping finishes. Each is tailored to the requirements of particular tensioning methods, sealing devices, and packaging applications Painted and waxed Painted and waxed strapping provides corrosion resistance. Available in all Apex and Magnus strap sizes, it can be used in notch or crimp-type seal systems. Its primary advantage is improved tension transmission around load corners. Sizes from 9.5mm to 31.75mm Waxed strapping is required for feedwheel-type tensioners. Zinc painted and waxed Zinc finish strapping is waxed and has a zinc enriched coating to provide outstanding resistance to rust. Available in a variety of Apex and Magnus sizes, it has the same improved tension transmission characteristics as the painted and waxed strapping. Zinc finish protects where it is needed most—at points of surface damage and scratches. Signode steel strapping and plywood can be combined to fabricate 300 gal. (1140 l) storage containers used to store and ship a myriad of industrial products. Note: Signode steel strapping plants are ISO-9000 certified.
