Q: There are a batch of hoses that need to be bundled. I wonder if Stainless Steel Cable Tie has good corrosion resistance?
A: Generally speaking, stainless steel cable ties have certain corrosion resistance, so its corrosion resistance is relatively good.
The surface of the stainless steel cable tie itself has a protective film. This protective film is a relatively thin, molecularly stable chromium-rich oxide film, which can well prevent oxygen atoms from penetrating deeply, so that the surface of the stainless steel cable tie has good rust resistance.
However, it will still corrode under certain conditions. Once the protective film on the surface of the stainless steel cable tie is damaged, the oxygen atoms in the liquid or air will enter the surface of the stainless steel cable tie, causing its surface to rust. Sea fog containing a lot of salt, coastal areas, and humid environments will increase the probability of rust.
Therefore, it is necessary to avoid direct contact with corrosive chemicals during use.
In addition, some detergents and disinfectants in stainless steel cable ties can accelerate the oxidation rate, especially the disinfectant will contain some substances that can react chemically with stainless steel materials. If you need to clean it, you can use clean water to clean and dry it.
It is recommended that you choose products produced by regular manufacturers when buying stainless steel cable ties, and do not buy products without any certification. Good quality stainless steel cable ties are not easy to rust.
