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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

Also known as zip ties, cable ties are fasteners that bundle your cables and wires together to keep them organized and prevent damage. They come in different sizes, lengths, materials and even colors. The different uses of cable ties vary across industries, but what they all have in common is that they&#;re the most effective way to manage your cables.
Scottish-born Maurus C. Logan, who worked at Thomas & Betts, invented cable ties in . He got the idea while touring an aircraft facility, noticing how difficult and complex the job of wiring was. It involved thousands of feet of cabling manually secured with knotted, wax-coated, braided nylon cord, leaving the workers&#; hands with deep cuts and callouses. This is an example of a simple invention having a profound effect on lives.
Materials play a large role in determining which solution is right for your application. You'll find durable cable ties in these materials:
Nylon produces a high-strength zip tie with good thermal and abrasion resistance. It also resists fuels and most chemicals. Nylon 6/6, the grade most often used for cable ties, meets UL94 V-2 flammability ratings and can operate in temperatures as low as -40°F. Typically, a nylon zip-tie melting point is 185°F.
Nylon cable ties can be heat stabilized for continuous or extended exposure to high temperatures of up to 250°F. The manufacturing process can also produce UV stabilized ties for outdoor use. For example, you can have the same cable tie, but manufactured for different applications.
Example:

If you&#;re looking for chemical resistant cable ties, consider polypropylene (PE). It resists acids, polyhydric alcohols, neutral salts and basic salts, making it a better choice in this instance than nylon. It does have a lower tensile strength than nylon 6/6, but it&#;s also more flexible. Polypropylene can also stand up to UV exposure.
Just as you can get the same cable tie formulated differently, you can get the same cable tie in different materials. For example, beaded cable ties are available in nylon or polypropylene.

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) has a high-ductile nature and less-than-average tensile strength. As a material for cable ties, it&#;s not commonly used. However, it stretches and conforms well to surfaces and has excellent chemical resistance to dilute and concentrated acids, alcohols, bases and esters, so it has its uses. For these reasons, it&#;s often used for ties that are meant to bundle cables temporarily.

Stainless steel cable ties provide high tensile strength. They can also stand extremely high temperatures, from &#;328°F to °F. There are two types of stainless steel used in cable ties: 304 and 316. Type 304 is used for general purposes, with both indoor and outdoor applications. When corrosion is a threat, it&#;s Type 316 you need.

Ties are available as single-use and reusable. You can remove zip ties without cutting if they&#;re single-use, but it will slow down your processes to open them. To open a traditional tie:
We advise you not to re-use a single-use tie too many times. The more you open and retie them, the quicker the ribs, or teeth, will wear down. Another issue is the locking mechanism itself. Its grip loosens over time when you push or pull against it multiple times.
