PVC Coated Stainless Steel Cable Ties — 304 & 316 Bulk Supply
In marine, tunnel, rail and chemical environments, a bare stainless steel tie holds the load — but its sharp metal edge can scuff cable jackets, and its exposed surface sits directly against dissimilar metals. PVC coated stainless steel cable ties solve both problems: a stainless steel core for full tensile strength and fire safety, wrapped in a tough black PVC (polymer) layer that protects cable insulation, insulates against galvanic corrosion and adds UV and salt-spray resistance.
Shangbo Plastics manufactures PVC coated stainless steel cable ties in 304 and 316 grades, with a ball-lock self-locking head, tensile strength from 135 lb to 270 lb and lengths from 100 mm to 1050 mm. Rated −40°C to +150°C and flame-retardant, they suit outdoor, underground and corrosive installations. We supply distributors, importers and industrial buyers factory-direct — with flexible quantities, OEM packaging and full compliance documentation. Coated ties are one of four families we make — see our full metal tie range if you are comparing options.

Types of PVC Coated Stainless Steel Cable Ties
By stainless steel grade
Grade 304 (SS304)
The all-purpose choice — good corrosion resistance and strength for general outdoor, industrial and construction use.
Grade 316 (SS316)
Marine grade — added molybdenum for superior resistance to salt water, chlorides and aggressive chemical environments.
Grade 201 (SS201)
An economical option for less demanding indoor or general-purpose bundling where cost is the priority.
By width / strength tier
SST (4.6 mm)
135 lb (60 kg) tensile — standard bundling of cables, hoses and light structures.
SHD (7.9 mm)
180 lb (80 kg) tensile — larger bundles and tougher pull loads in industrial and infrastructure work.
SED (12 mm)
270 lb (120 kg) tensile — our highest tier for heavy pipe, large-diameter bundles and demanding structural fixing.

Key Features of Our PVC Coated Stainless Steel Cable Ties
Stainless Steel Core Strength
A 201/304/316 stainless steel core delivers 135 lb to 270 lb of tensile strength, so heavy bundles, pipe and structures stay secure under load and vibration. The metal core carries the load while the coating protects it. You get metal strength with polymer protection in one tie.
Protective Black PVC Coating
A tough black PVC layer wraps the steel to protect cable jackets from abrasion, guard against galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, and add a moisture and UV barrier. This makes the tie safer for sensitive cables and longer-lasting outdoors. The coating is the reason to choose it over bare stainless.
Ball-Lock Self-Locking Head
A stainless ball-lock mechanism grips the strap firmly and cannot be released once closed, giving a tamper-resistant, permanent fixing. There are no plastic pawls to fatigue or fail. This keeps critical bundles locked for the life of the installation.
Wide Temperature Range
Rated for −40°C to +150°C, these ties cover cold outdoor sites through to hot industrial lines within the PVC coating’s limits. This lets one tie serve a broad span of conditions. Exact limits are confirmed for your application.
Corrosion, UV & Salt-Spray Resistance
The stainless core plus PVC skin resist rust, sunlight, humidity and salt spray, and the ties are suitable for direct burial. This makes them dependable for marine, coastal and underground installations. They hold their grip where uncoated fixings would corrode.
Flame-Retardant & Compliant
The ties are flame-retardant and produced under an ISO 9001 quality system with RoHS and REACH documentation available. This supports electrical, transit and infrastructure specifications. Certificates are provided on request for your approval files.
PVC Coated vs Epoxy Coated vs Bare Stainless Steel
All three share the same stainless steel core and ball-lock head. The difference is the surface — and that decides which environment each suits best:
Factor | Bare Stainless | PVC Coated | Epoxy Coated |
|---|---|---|---|
Coating | None | Black PVC (polymer) | Thermosetting epoxy resin |
Coating feel | Exposed metal edge | Thicker, soft, cushioned | Thin, hard, smooth |
Cable-jacket protection | Limited | Best | Good |
Galvanic isolation | No | Yes | Yes |
Acid / chemical resistance | Good | Good | Best |
UV & salt-spray | Good | Best | Very good |
Best for | General high-strength | Marine, outdoor, cable protection | Chemical plants, high heat |

How to Choose the Right Coated Stainless Steel Tie
Four quick checks help you specify the correct tie:
1. Grade — General outdoor/industrial: 304. Marine, salt water or chemical: 316. Cost-sensitive indoor: 201.
2. Load & bundle size — Match the width tier (SST 135 lb / SHD 180 lb / SED 270 lb) and length to your bundle weight and diameter.
3. Environment — For cable-jacket protection, dissimilar-metal contact, UV or direct burial, choose the PVC coated version over bare stainless.
4. Temperature & compliance — Confirm the operating range (up to +150°C for PVC) and request ISO / RoHS / REACH documentation if your project needs it.
Not sure? Send us your grade, load, bundle diameter and environment, and we will recommend the exact specification.
Applications — Industries We Serve
Our plastic cable ties, plastic wire ties, and plastic zip ties are trusted by buyers across 6 major industries:
Marine & Offshore
Grade 316 PVC coated ties resist salt water, humidity and spray on vessels, docks and offshore platforms. The coating protects cable jackets and isolates dissimilar metals where corrosion would otherwise take hold.
Oil, Gas & Chemical
Corrosion- and flame-retardant ties for pipelines, refineries and processing plants. The stainless core plus PVC barrier withstand aggressive, moisture-heavy environments where polymer-only ties fail.
Rail & Mass Transit
Flame-retardant fixing for trackside cabling, tunnels and rolling stock where fire safety and vibration resistance are specified. The non-releasable ball-lock keeps critical bundles permanently secure.
Mining & Tunnelling
Rugged bundling for cables and hoses in abrasive, wet underground conditions. The coating shields cable insulation from sharp edges while the stainless core holds heavy loads.
Solar & Outdoor Energy
UV and salt-spray resistant ties built for years of direct sunlight and weather on solar farms and outdoor installations. They hold panel wiring and cable runs without becoming brittle.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Direct-burial-suitable ties for power, water and telecom networks, bridges and public structures. They secure cable runs through weather, movement and long service life.

What is a PVC Coated Stainless Steel Cable Tie?
A PVC coated stainless steel cable tie is a metal cable tie with a stainless steel core (grade 201, 304 or 316) that is covered in a layer of black PVC — a durable polymer coating. The steel core provides the tensile strength and fire safety of metal, while the PVC coating adds a protective skin over the sharp metal edges.
That coating does three jobs: it protects the jackets of the cables being bundled from abrasion, it isolates the stainless steel from dissimilar metals to reduce galvanic corrosion, and it adds an extra barrier against UV, moisture and salt spray. The result is a tie that combines the strength of stainless steel with the protection and handling of a coated surface — ideal for marine, outdoor, underground and cable-sensitive installations where a bare metal tie is too aggressive and a plastic tie is not strong enough.
