This stainless steel cable tie, with a length of 680 mm and a width of 7,9 mm, is made of the stainless steel alloy 1.4301, a V2A steel material. It is very flexible, yet extremely sturdy, weatherproof, UV- and heat-resistant. A metal cable tie is therefore ideal for indoor and outdoor use.
When our stainless steel cable tie is tightened, a small ball wedges into the locking head and locks the tie 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, this zip tie made of stainless steel also holds 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.
