Frequently Asked Questions

What are stainless steel cable ties made of?

Our stainless steel cable ties are manufactured from 316L grade non-magnetic stainless steel, which is marine-grade quality steel known for its superior corrosion resistance. This premium material meets UL94 fireproof standards and provides exceptional durability in harsh environments.

How strong are stainless steel cable ties?

Stainless steel cable ties offer significantly higher tensile strength compared to nylon alternatives. The 316L marine-grade stainless steel construction provides superior holding power, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications where maximum strength is essential.

Are stainless steel cable ties suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, absolutely. Our stainless steel cable ties are specifically designed for outdoor environments. They're UV resistant, weatherproof, and can withstand exposure to salt water, making them perfect for marine, offshore, and exposed outdoor applications.

What is the temperature range for stainless steel cable ties?

The operating temperature varies by coating type:

• Uncoated stainless steel ties: -80°C to +538°C
• PVC coated ties: -60°C to +150°C
• Epoxy coated ties: -60°C to +150°C

Can you reuse stainless steel cable ties?

No, our stainless steel cable ties feature a self-locking head design with a ball bearing mechanism that locks permanently once tightened. This ensures maximum security but means they're designed for single-use applications.

How do you use stainless steel cable ties?

Thread the tail through the self-locking head and pull tight. The ball bearing mechanism in the head automatically locks the tie at any length, providing a secure hold. The self-locking design speeds installation and ensures consistent results.

What sizes do stainless steel cable ties come in?

We offer two width options:

• 4.6mm width: Available in lengths from 150mm to 1200mm
