Question: In the surface treatment process of Stainless Steel Cable Tie, what is the difference between plastic coating and plastic spraying?
Answer: At present, the surface treatment processes of stainless steel cable ties that can be seen on the market are mostly plastic coating and plastic spraying. Many people don’t know the difference between these two processes. Let us introduce them below.
In the cable tie industry, plastic coating and extrusion are actually process treatment methods in the process, but they are called differently. Features of cable ties treated with this process:
1. It uses plastic coating (usually PVC coating), which has no flame retardant effect. Once it encounters fire, it will emit black smoke. Therefore, on the one hand, its fire resistance is poor, and on the other hand, its environmental protection is relatively poor.
2. If the PVC coating is exposed to room temperature or direct sunlight for a long time, its service life will be shortened, and it may even crack and peel directly.
3. The unit price is usually higher than that of cable ties without any surface coating.
The process of plastic spraying is basically to spray paint on the surface of the cable tie. The cost of this process is relatively low compared to plastic coating. However, if the quality of the paint is poor, it is easy to fall off during use, and the experience of use is even worse than that of cable ties without surface treatment. At that time, some good ones will also perform edge cutting and chamfering after plastic spraying.
Whether plastic coated cable ties or plastic sprayed cable ties are used, their essence is to protect the cable ties from corrosion and rust and extend their service life. If the requirements for stainless steel cable ties are relatively high in actual use, you can choose plastic dipped cable ties, which have higher performance and quality.
