KYA 16mm Polyester Composite Cord Strap is a non-metallic load-securing strap made from polyester fibers with a protective polymer coating. The CC50 16mm (5/8") configuration has a published 425 daN linear break strength and 680 daN system strength when used with the specified phosphated wire buckle.
The 16mm strap is supplied in 850m coils, with the published packing configuration listing 2 coils per box. It is intended for industrial bundling, palletizing and cargo-securement applications where a flexible polyester composite strapping system is appropriate.
For load-securing applications, linear break strength and complete system strength should be considered separately. The system value depends on the strap being used with the specified buckle and suitable tensioning equipment.

Ask About Strap and Buckle Selection
Composite cord strapping is manufactured from high-strength polyester fibers held together and protected by a polymer coating. This construction creates a flexible strapping material that can be threaded around loads and joined with compatible wire buckles.
The coating also helps protect the polyester fibers during normal handling. Unlike steel strapping, polyester composite strap does not generate metallic rust, but the complete securing system, including buckles and tools, should still be selected for the expected storage and transport environment.
Polyester composite cord strap can be used as an alternative to steel strapping in suitable bundling and load-securing applications. It offers different handling and load-response characteristics rather than being a direct strength-for-strength replacement in every application.
No metal strap edges: Flexible polyester construction avoids the sharp cut edges associated with steel strapping.
Low material weight: Polyester composite strap is easier to handle than many steel-strapping systems.
Elastic recovery: Polyester fibers can accommodate movement and settling in suitable loads.
Re-tensioning: Wire-buckle systems can allow the strap to be re-tensioned when the application and tool permit.
No strap rust: The polyester strap itself does not rust like steel strapping.
Flexible contact surface: Composite strap can reduce metal-to-product contact on compatible loads.
Steel strapping may still be required for applications involving high temperatures, very sharp edges, particular load-securement standards or other conditions outside the intended range of polyester composite strapping. Select the system according to the actual cargo and transport requirements.
The 16mm CC50 configuration can be considered for industrial unitizing, bundling and cargo-securement applications where its published system strength and dimensions meet the required load-securing specification.
Palletized industrial goods
Steel pipe and profile bundles
Timber and lumber packs
Brick and concrete-product bundles
Aluminum profiles
Crates and machinery packaging
Compressible loads that may settle during transport
Containerized cargo and flat-rack securing where the selected system satisfies the applicable load-securement requirements
For heavy cargo or transport lashing, determine the required securing force and verify the complete strap-and-buckle system rather than selecting a product solely by strap width.
The published 680 daN value for the 16mm CC50 product is a system strength associated with the specified phosphated wire buckle. It should not be interpreted as the linear breaking strength of the strap alone.
Phosphated wire buckles are used with composite strapping to create the joint and maintain grip under tension. The buckle width and wire diameter must match the selected strap configuration.
For replacement systems, provide the current strap width, buckle dimensions and required system strength so the matching configuration can be checked.
Composite polyester strapping can be tensioned using compatible strapping equipment. KYA's current product information references manual, battery-powered and pneumatic tensioning options.
Tool suitability depends on strap width, strap construction, required tension and the tool manufacturer's operating range. Confirm that the selected tensioner is designed for 16mm composite cord strapping before use.
KYA's current product information lists Germanischer Lloyd certification and AAR approval for the composite strapping product offering. Where certification or transport approval is required by a purchasing specification, request the current supporting documentation before ordering.
The document should be checked to confirm that the approval applies to the exact strap width, strength class, buckle and intended securing configuration required for the shipment.
The current KYA product information lists custom logo printing with an MOQ of 20 rolls. It also lists a standard purchasing MOQ of 1 carton / 2 coils for the 16mm product.
The current product information also states that 10–20m strap samples with buckles can be supplied, with freight paid by the recipient. Contact KYA to confirm current sample availability, sample length and shipping arrangement before requesting testing material.

Select the strapping system according to cargo weight, load geometry, transport conditions and the required securing performance. Do not select a strap only from its width or linear break value.
The strap and buckle work as a system. Use a buckle designed for the selected strap width and strength class, and confirm the resulting system strength.
Sharp load edges can damage strapping. Use suitable edge protection where required and confirm that polyester composite strapping is appropriate for the cargo surface.
Confirm that the tensioner accepts the selected strap width and construction and can apply the required tension without damaging the strap.

The published CC50 specification lists a 425 daN linear break strength and a 680 daN system strength when used with the specified phosphated wire buckle.
Linear break strength describes the strap itself. System strength describes the performance of the assembled strap-and-buckle configuration. For load securing, the complete system value is the more relevant figure.
The published CC50 specification lists 850 meters per coil, with 2 coils per box.
It can replace steel strapping in many compatible bundling and load-securing applications, but it is not a universal direct replacement. Compare the required system strength, load characteristics, temperature, edges and applicable transport requirements before changing strapping systems.
The polyester strap itself does not form metallic rust. However, wire buckles and other metal components should be selected with the expected moisture and corrosion environment in mind.
Wire-buckle composite strapping systems can allow re-tensioning when the selected buckle, tool and load configuration permit it. This can be useful for loads such as timber or other materials that settle after initial strapping.
Composite strapping is used in cargo-securement applications, but the required securing system must be selected according to the cargo, transport method and applicable load-securement requirements. Request documentation if a specific approval is required.
KYA's current product information lists AAR approval for its composite strapping offering. If AAR compliance is mandatory for your shipment, request the current approval documentation and confirm that it covers the exact 16mm strap, buckle and system configuration being purchased.
The published 680 daN system-strength figure is based on a matching phosphated wire buckle. Confirm the required buckle dimensions and wire diameter when ordering a complete system.
KYA lists manual, battery-powered and pneumatic tensioning options for composite strapping. The exact tool must be suitable for the 16mm strap width, strap construction and required tension.
The current product information lists 10–20m strap samples with buckles, with freight paid by the recipient. Contact KYA to confirm current sample availability and shipping arrangements.
The current product information lists an MOQ of 1 carton containing 2 coils for the 16mm strap. Confirm the current order quantity and packing configuration when requesting a quotation.
The current product information lists custom logo printing with an MOQ of 20 rolls. Provide the artwork and printing requirements for confirmation.
