What are stainless steel cable ties
Stainless steel cable ties are a type of stainless steel manufacturing product used for industrial bundling and fixation. It is made of 304 and 316 stainless steel materials, which have the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance, good high temperature resistance, and high metal tensile strength.
Material of stainless steel cable ties
304 stainless steel:
Containing 18%~20% chromium and 8%~10.5% nickel, suitable for various environments, with good corrosion resistance, affordable price, and low raw material cost.
316 stainless steel:
Containing 16%~18% chromium, 10%~14% nickel, and 2%~3% molybdenum, it has a higher cost but better corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel. It has stronger corrosion resistance to corrosive liquids and is suitable for marine and salt spray environments.
The use of stainless steel cable ties
1.Industrial field:
Used for fixing pipelines and cables, suitable for heavy industries such as petroleum, mining, and marine engineering.
2.Electrical system:
Users fix and stabilize cables and optical cables to ensure stable power transmission and safety protection.
3.The application of ocean and coastal cities:
Used to fix equipment in the sea or cables in salt spray environments, it can effectively resist the erosion of seawater and salt spray corrosion.
4.Common buildings and infrastructure:
Used for fixing cables and pipelines in apartments, high-rise buildings, villas, private courtyards, bridges, and other buildings.
How to use the stainless steel zip ties？
Choose a stainless steel cable tie of appropriate length, place the head of the cable tie on one side of the fixed object (such as a cable), and then wrap the tie around the object one or more times, maintaining the balance of the tie to avoid folding. Then thread the tail of the cable tie through the locking hole on the head, tighten the cable tie with your hand or cable tie gun, and secure the object. Use scissors or other tools to cut off the excess part at the end of the cable tie, keeping the cut flat to avoid scratching you.
304 stainless steel vs 316 stainless steel
304 stainless steel is suitable for various common environments and has high cost-effectiveness.316 stainless steel places more emphasis on quality and is suitable for environments with higher corrosiveness, with a higher price.

What are the Stainless steel cable ties tool？
1.Cable tie pliers:
Cable tie pliers are an auxiliary tool for tightening cable ties. Thread the tail of the stainless steel cable tie through the head and lock it, then you can place the end of the cable tie in the groove of the rotating shaft and blade of the cable tie pliers. Tighten the zip tie and cut off the excess part.
2.Tensioning tool:
The tensioning tool can be used to install stainless steel cable ties. It applies the same tension to each tie and automatically cuts off excess tail length when the required tension is reached. It can greatly improve efficiency and is a good helper.
3.Protective gloves:
When installing stainless steel cable ties, protective gloves are essential safety equipment. The sharp edges of stainless steel cable ties may cause cuts, while leather material protective gloves can effectively protect you.
