What exactly are stainless steel cable ties?
Tie-wraps, also known in the jargon as cable ties, are available in a variety of types and materials. The best known are the ordinary cable ties made of plastic. These cable ties are strong, but are not the best quality when it comes to cable ties. In addition to the plain cable ties plastic cable ties also exist. These cable ties are also called stainless steel ty-raps, stainless steel cable ties, cable ties, lashing ties or coison ties. Stainless steel cable ties are perfect for securely fixing electrical cables in your home, moped cables and hoses under the hood of your car. The stainless steel tie-wraps feature an indestructible self-locking fastening mechanism that cannot be loosened and is also known as the "ball lock.
The advantages of stainless steel cable ties compared to plastic cable ties
Stainless steel cable ties have a few advantages over the ordinary plastic cable ties. First of all, stainless steel cable ties are considerably stronger than the plastic tie-wrap. In fact, the name of this cable tie-wrap already says where the strength of stainless steel ties lies: stainless steel ties are rustproof and therefore provide a long-lasting secure attachment. Particularly in humid climates like the Netherlands, stainless steel cable ties provided a permanently strong attachment. Whether it rains, snows or ices: stainless steel ties do not care much about the weather. Plastic tie-wraps, on the other hand, are much more sensitive to moisture, heat and frost in particular. A second plus of stainless cable ties is that you can tighten them very tightly and cut them to size with a specially designed tensioning tool or cable tie pliers. This allows you to fasten heavy objects and materials together super tightly and not have to worry about the materials coming loose due to rusting. Finally, there are numerous types, sizes and designs of stainless steel tie-wraps available. For every job that requires a rock-solid tie-wrap, there is a custom stainless steel tie-wrap available that provides a rock-solid connection of electrical wires, cables, hoses or pipes. Finally, stainless steel tie-wraps can be used both underground and above ground because they cannot rust and last super long.
Stainless steel cable ties are used in all industries
In business and industry, stainless steel tie-wraps are massively used because of the high quality these tensioners guarantee. In particular, the automotive industry, construction (scaffolding fasteners), companies engaged in solar, wind and bio-energy, shipbuilding, greenhouse construction and the food industry gratefully take advantage of the positive characteristics that stainless steel tie-wraps has to offer its users.
