NYLON CABLE TIE STEEL INLAY
A steel barb cable tie is a type of cable tie that incorporates a steel barb or metal component in its locking mechanism. This design makes the tie more durable and able to hold up under more demanding conditions, especially in heavy-duty or industrial environments. The steel barb replaces the typical plastic locking mechanism used in standard cable ties.
Key Features of Steel Barb Cable Ties:
-
Steel Insert or Barb: The key difference in a steel barb cable tie is the metal insert in the tie head that locks the tie into place. This barb increases the strength and security of the fastener.
-
Durability: The metal component makes these ties more resistant to temperature extremes, UV exposure, and chemicals compared to plastic-only ties. As such, they are suitable for outdoor or industrial use where environmental factors may affect standard plastic ties.
-
Heavy-Duty Applications: Steel barb cable ties are commonly used in environments that require more strength, such as in construction, transportation, and marine industries. They are designed to handle heavier loads and extreme conditions.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Steel barb cable ties can come with coatings (e.g., stainless steel or galvanized) to prevent corrosion, making them ideal for harsh conditions like exposure to saltwater or chemicals.
-
Sizes and Materials: Steel barb cable ties come in various sizes and can be used to bundle everything from cables and wires to hoses and ropes.
Advantages:
- Stronger Hold: The steel barb provides a stronger and more secure locking mechanism than regular plastic ties.
- Better for Harsh Environments: Suitable for environments where plastic ties might fail due to temperature, UV rays, or chemical exposure.
- Longevity: Steel-barbed ties can last much longer than standard cable ties, especially in challenging conditions.
These cable ties are primarily used in specialized industries like electrical, automotive, aerospace, and construction, where secure fastening is crucial and environmental conditions are demanding.
