Stainless Steel Cable Ties — Australia's Largest Range
304 & 316 Stainless Steel Cable Ties | Nylon Coated Stainless Steel Cable Ties | Heavy Duty Cable Ties
Zippy Tie Man stocks one of the largest ranges of stainless steel cable ties in Australia, built for jobs where a standard nylon tie simply won't cut it. Whether you're searching for cable ties stainless steel suppliers for a mining site, a marine application, or an industrial install exposed to heat and corrosion, our stainless steel cable tie range covers 4.6mm, 7.9mm, and 12mm widths, all fitted with a self-locking head for a fast, secure hold.
We stock three core ranges to match the job — 304 Stainless Steel Cable Ties, 316 Stainless Steel Cable Ties, and Nylon Coated 304 Stainless Steel Cable Ties for applications where the tie sits directly against sensitive cable insulation. Each range is sold in packs of 100.
Self-Locking and Built for Load
Every stainless steel cable tie we stock uses a ball lock stainless steel cable tie mechanism — the tie feeds through a rolling ball-bearing head that grips and holds under tension, rather than relying on a plastic ratchet. It's what makes these self locking stainless steel cable ties a heavy duty option for applications a standard nylon tie can't handle: bundling exhaust systems, securing signage, fencing, cable trays, or any load-bearing application where the tie needs to hold firm under vibration, heat, or weight.
304 vs 316 — Choosing the Right Grade
The grade matters more than most people expect. Our 304 stainless steel cable ties are a strong, corrosion-resistant option suited to most industrial and general outdoor use. Our 316 stainless steel cable ties step up to marine-grade corrosion resistance, making them the better choice for coastal environments, marine equipment, or anywhere the tie will be exposed to salt air or harsh chemicals over the long term.
Coated Options for Sensitive Cabling
For jobs where bare stainless steel could scratch or damage cable insulation, our nylon coated stainless steel cable ties add a protective outer layer while keeping the strength of a 304 stainless steel core underneath — a common request from anyone comparing coated stainless steel cable ties for cable protection rather than raw strength alone.
Installing Stainless Steel Cable Ties
Smaller stainless steel cable ties can be tensioned by hand, but for larger sizes or bulk installs, a stainless steel cable tie gun makes the job faster and gives a more consistent, even tension across every tie. Check out our Cable Tie Guns & Crimping Tools range if you need a tensioning tool to go with your order.
We supply stainless steel cable ties to industrial and government clients, mining operations, hydraulics companies, party hire businesses, aviation and truck repairers, and scaffolding companies right across Australia. Zippy Tie Man cable ties exceed the requirement standards used across most countries worldwide.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What's the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel cable ties?
Both are corrosion resistant, but 316 grade offers stronger protection against salt air and chemical exposure, making it the better choice for marine or coastal applications. 304 grade is a strong, cost-effective option for most standard industrial and outdoor use.
2. What are nylon coated stainless steel cable ties used for?
The nylon coating sits over a 304 stainless steel core, giving you the strength of stainless steel with a protective outer layer that won't scratch or cut into sensitive cable insulation — useful where bare metal could damage the cables it's securing.
3. What sizes do your stainless steel cable ties come in?
We stock 4.6mm, 7.9mm, and 12mm widths across our 304, 316, and nylon coated ranges, each sold in packs of 100.
4. How does a self-locking stainless steel cable tie work?
It uses a ball lock mechanism — the strap feeds through a head containing a rolling ball bearing, which grips the strap as it's pulled and holds it firmly under tension without slipping back.
5. Do I need a special tool to install stainless steel cable ties?
Smaller sizes can be tensioned and locked by hand, but a stainless steel cable tie gun makes larger sizes and bulk installs faster, with more consistent tension across every tie.
6. Are stainless steel cable ties heavy duty enough for industrial use?
Yes. The self-locking ball lock mechanism combined with a stainless steel strap makes them a heavy duty option for bundling, securing, and restraint applications that standard nylon cable ties aren't rated for.
7. Can stainless steel cable ties handle high heat?
Stainless steel handles heat far better than nylon, which is why it's commonly used around exhausts, engine bays, and other high-temperature industrial applications. If you need ties for a specific certified or fire-rated application, get in touch with our team and we can point you to the right option.
8. Do you sell stainless steel cable ties in bulk for trade or commercial use?
Yes. We supply stainless steel cable ties in bulk to electricians, government departments, mining and hydraulics companies, scaffolders, and other trades, with wholesale pricing available on larger orders.
