Discover more about the Coated Stainless Steel Cable Ties range.
Coated stainless steel cable ties are essential components in many heavy-duty engineering and industrial applications. These ties are primarily stainless steel cable ties encased in either PVC or epoxy coatings. The coating provides extra protection, making them highly durable and resistant to environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals and extreme temperatures.
The coated layer not only protects the metal cable ties from corrosion but also ensures that they don't damage sensitive cables or surfaces during installation. This is particularly useful when dealing with delicate or high-value wiring systems. The design features a crimp-locking mechanism, making installation secure and simple with the help of a metal cable tie gun.
How Coated Cable Ties Work
Coated stainless steel cable ties are designed to bundle, secure and manage cables in a range of industries from manufacturing to aerospace. Their coated finish makes them particularly effective in environments where abrasion or corrosion could pose a serious risk. For example, in outdoor installations or marine applications, our PVC-coated stainless steel cable ties provide excellent protection against the elements.
When installed with a stainless steel cable tie gun, these ties ensure a strong, even tension that secures the cables firmly in place. The plastic coating acts as a buffer, preventing the tie from cutting into the cable sheathing, insulation or delicate surfaces. This makes them ideal for applications such as securing sensitive electronic wiring in harsh industrial environments or managing large bundles of cables in data centres.
Materials Coated Cable Ties Are Made From
Our range of coated cable ties includes PVC plastic-coated stainless steel cable ties and epoxy-coated stainless steel cable ties.
The two coatings we offer span the range of thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics which each have their own benefits. PVC-coated cable ties are highly resistant to UV light, moisture and chemical exposure, making them the go-to choice for outdoor and marine applications. Epoxy-coated stainless steel cable ties offer enhanced durability and thermal stability, making them preferred in highly corrosive and hot environments such as chemical plants or oil refineries with temperatures ranging from -40°C to +150°C.
Size and Type of Coated Cable Ties Available
At Accu, we stock a variety of sizes and lengths of plastic-coated metal cable ties to suit any project. The shortest length available is 150mm, while the longest can reach up to 1000mm, offering flexibility for securing everything from small bundles to large cable assemblies. Bundle diameters range from 40mm to 311mm, ensuring you can find the right size for your application.
For fixing in complex installations, you may also want to explore our stainless steel cable tie mounts which provide an anchor point.
You can also explore our nylon cable ties, which are perfect for lighter, indoor applications where flexibility and cost-efficiency are paramount.
Whether you’re working on an industrial, marine, or high-tech project, Accu's range of stainless steel cable ties coated in epoxy or PVC provides a steadfast solution that will meet your exact specifications, from size and strength to environmental resilience.
FAQs
Q: Do I need to use coated cable ties?
A: If you're working in environments with moisture, chemicals or extreme temperatures, stainless steel PVC-coated cable ties can provide extra protection, preventing damage to cables while offering durability in tough conditions over regular PVC cable ties.
Q: Which coating is best, epoxy or PVC?
A: PVC-coated SS cable ties are best for outdoor and marine use due to their resistance to UV and moisture. Epoxy-coated ties are ideal for highly corrosive environments like chemical plants. The "best" one to use depends on the environment they'll be installed in.
