These stainless steel cable ties, with a length of 200 mm and a width of 4,6 mm, are made of the stainless steel alloy 1.4301, a V2A steel material. They are very flexible, yet extremely sturdy, weatherproof, UV- and heat-resistant. Metal cable ties are therefore ideal for indoor and outdoor use.
When our stainless steel cable ties are tightened, a small ball wedges into the locking head and locks the ties securely. If there is no more tension acting on the cable tie locking mechanism, the ball can shift and the lock may release. Stainless steel cable ties have a smooth surface and assume a uniform circular shape after tightening. These characteristics prevent the pinching of the bundled items. Aside from cable harnesses, these zip ties made of stainless steel also hold conduits or pipes reliably in place.
Stainless steel cable ties have a higher tensile strength than plastic cable ties and can withstand temperatures of up to 300 °C. Another advantage of stainless steel zip ties: they are resistant to many different chemicals, except for chlorine and salt solutions. Please see our table on the chemical resistance of cable ties for more information.
