Stainless steel band straps are the core component of steel band fastening solutions. They can be manufactured from various grades of stainless steel, including SUS 201, 202, 304, 316, and 409, and are available in different widths and thicknesses to meet diverse application requirements.Boasting
Boasting versatility, durability, and extremely high breaking strength, stainless steel band straps are an ideal choice for attaching or securing industrial assemblies. A common application is fastening anchoring and suspension assemblies or other devices to poles. They are widely used in the construction of passive optical networks, as well as in marine transportation, railway transportation, mining, and oil and gas industries.
Compared to other suppliers, Jera's stainless steel straps offer superior elongation properties. They are packaged in color-coded plastic boxes, which facilitate easy identification of stainless steel grades and convenient portability. Given that these are heavy-duty products, they are packaged in outer cartons with inner plastic boxes—a dual packaging design that ensures product safety during transportation.
What is the Plastic Ties
It is a lightweight fastening product made from plastic (with nylon 66 as the mainstream material). Its core function is to quickly bundle, organize, or secure items, and it is widely used in various scenarios due to its low cost and ease of operation.
Stainless steel banding is more suitable for outdoor cable fastening than plastic ties, as it offers more advantageous features and better environmental adaptability.
Key features of Stainless Steel Banding
1. High strength and durability
High Tensile Strength:Stainless steel banding can withstand high tensile loads, securely fastening heavy cables, pipes, and other components without breaking or loosening.
Resistance to Mechanical Stress and Vibration: Its robust structure enables it to maintain stable performance even in environments with mechanical stress and high vibration, without loosening or damage. This makes it suitable for scenarios like automobile engine compartments and industrial machinery, where vibration levels are high.
2. Corrosion Resistance
Resistance to Multiple Corrosive Media:Stainless steel banding is primarily made of alloys containing iron, chromium, nickel, and other elements. Chromium forms a chromium oxide passive film on the surface, granting the banding excellent corrosion resistance. It can withstand erosion from chemical media such as acids, alkalis, and salts, making it applicable in highly corrosive environments like the chemical industry and marine settings.
Rust and Oxidation Resistance: Even when exposed to humid, salt-spray, or outdoor environments, stainless steel banding is not prone to rusting or oxidation. It maintains good appearance and performance, extending its service life—for example, it is widely used in coastal construction and shipbuilding.
3. Resistance to Extreme Temperatures
High-Temperature Resistance: It can withstand high-temperature environments without deforming, softening, or losing strength. This makes it suitable for bundling cables and pipes around high-temperature equipment such as industrial furnaces, boilers, and exhaust pipes.
Low-Temperature Resistance: Even in extremely low-temperature conditions, stainless steel banding retains good toughness and strength, without becoming brittle or breaking. This ensures its normal use in cold regions or low-temperature storage environments.
4. Dimensional Flexibility and Customization
Multiple Width and Thickness Options: Stainless steel banding is available in various width and thickness specifications to meet bundling needs in different application scenarios—from securing small wires to fixing large pipes.
Customizable Cutting Length: It can be cut to any length according to actual needs, avoiding waste and improving material utilization. This also facilitates installation and use, saving project costs and time.
5. Excellent Fire Resistance
Stainless steel itself is non-combustible, giving the banding excellent fire resistance. In the event of a fire, it will not burn or release toxic gases (unlike plastic cable ties), helping to protect personnel safety and reduce fire losses. It is suitable for locations with strict fire safety requirements, such as building fire protection systems and electrical equipment rooms.
Conclusion
When it comes to outdoor cable fixing, the choice between stainless steel banding and plastic ties isn’t just about cost—it’s about long-term reliability. While plastic ties work for quick, light-duty jobs, stainless steel banding stands out as the superior choice for most outdoor scenarios, especially when durability and performance matter.
