Cable Ties, Strapping & Binding Wire
Binding Wire
Binding wire is a type of wire commonly used in the construction industry for tying applications. Crafted from mild steel, binding wire secures the reinforcement steel bars during construction, maintaining the structure's integrity. It is available in various thicknesses and strengths to suit different structural needs. Besides construction, binding wire is useful in gardening, for securing trees to support stakes, and in various crafting applications where a sturdy yet flexible wire is needed.
Cable Ties
Cable ties, also known as zip ties, are a versatile tool used to bundle together cables, wires, and even other materials like fencing. Made from nylon or stainless steel, they offer a durable and secure fastening solution. Cable ties come in a variety of lengths, colors, and tensile strengths, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor uses. Industries such as electrical, automotive, and telecommunications rely heavily on these ties for cable management and organization.
Cable Tools
Cable tools encompass a wide range of equipment designed to handle and manipulate cables during installation. This category includes crimping tools, wire strippers, and cable cutters. Each tool is specialized; for instance, crimping tools are used to join two pieces of metal by deforming one or both of them to hold each other securely, important in electrical wiring and making network cables. Wire strippers are essential for safely preparing cables for connections, while cutters are used to resize a wire or cable to suit specific installation needs.
Strapping Bands and Buckles
Strapping bands and buckles are critical in packaging and shipment for securing heavy loads. The strapping can be made from steel, polyester, or polypropylene, each offering different benefits. Steel straps are exceptionally strong, making them suited for securing heavy industrial materials. Polyester and polypropylene straps are lighter and more flexible, ideal for palletizing cartons and other packaging purposes. Buckles or seals are used to fasten the straps, thereby ensuring that the goods are tightly secured during transit.
