Metal Cable Ties
Metal cable ties, also known as stainless steel cable ties, steel zip ties or metal zip straps, provide a heavy duty alternative to nylon ties for demanding UK installations. Manufactured from high grade 316 stainless steel, these heavy duty cable ties are ideal wherever strength, fire resistance and long term durability are required, from industrial plants and marine environments to construction sites and automotive applications.
What Are Metal Cable Ties?
Metal cable ties are single use fasteners that wrap around cables, hoses or components and lock securely using a self locking roller ball or punch lock mechanism. Our range is supplied in 316 stainless steel with optional epoxy or polyester coatings, giving you a choice of bare metal or coated finishes. Sizes run from 150mm to 1200mm in length and 4.6mm to 7.9mm in width, providing options for small cable bundles through to large structural fixings.
Key Features and Benefits
- Exceptional tensile strength with loop performance up to 160kg, far exceeding standard nylon ties.
- 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater, chemical and outdoor environments.
- Wide operating temperature range from -80°C to +538°C, fireproof and UV resistant.
- Epoxy or polyester coatings help reduce galvanic reaction, protect cable insulation and improve handling comfort.
- Self locking mechanisms for fast installation and secure, tamper resistant fastening.
- Ideal when you need a cable tie stainless solution for critical or safety related applications.
Common UK Use Cases
