Stainless steel cable ties are versatile and suitable for demanding use cases in various industries, including telecommunications, automotive, marine, and construction. Their adaptability makes them a great choice for diverse cable management needs where the durability and resistance to harsh conditions is essential.
The benefits of stainless steel cable ties
Stainless steel cable ties offer several benefits, making them a preferred choice in various applications where standard nylon ties may not be the most suitable choice.
Durability and strength
Stainless steel cable ties are known for their exceptional strength and durability. They can withstand high tension and are less prone to breakage, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution for bundling and securing cables.
Stainless steel cable ties have high tensile strength, ensuring that they can securely hold and fasten heavy loads. This strength makes them suitable for applications in construction, manufacturing, and other industries where robust cable management solutions are required.
For context, our 4.8mm wide standard nylon cable ties have a tensile strength of 22 kilograms, where as our 4.6mm wide stainless steel cable ties have a tensile strength of 89 kilograms!
Resistance to corrosion and harsh environments
Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, rust, and oxidation. This makes stainless steel cable ties ideal for use in harsh environments, including outdoor applications where exposure to moisture or saltwater is a concern.
However, not all stainless steel cable ties are created equal. Several companies supply inferior cable ties made with 304 grade stainless steel. Our stainless steel cable ties are made with 316 stainless steel, which means that their corrosion resistance is vastly greater than other ties made with 304 grade stainless steel.
Ability withstand extreme temperatures
Stainless steel cable ties can handle a broad range of temperatures, from extreme cold to high heat. This makes them suitable for applications in various industries, including those with demanding temperature conditions.
Resistance to chemicals
Stainless steel resists the effects of many chemicals, making these cable ties suitable for use in environments where exposure to corrosive substances is a concern. This chemical resistance contributes to the overall longevity and reliability of the ties.
Summary
Stainless steel cable ties are renowned for their exceptional strength and durability. They are resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. These ties are often used in demanding environments where strength and longevity are critical, and standard nylon cable ties may not be the most suitable choice.
