PEEK cable ties are a paragon of high - performance plastic fasteners. Composed of Polyether Ether Ketone, a high - tech thermoplastic polymer, these ties are engineered to withstand the most demanding conditions. Their outstanding high - temperature resistance allows them to maintain structural integrity even in environments reaching up to 250°C continuously and endure short - term exposures to even higher temperatures. This makes them ideal for applications where overheating is a concern, such as in the engines of aircraft and high - performance vehicles.
In terms of chemical resistance, PEEK cable ties are impervious to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. This resilience ensures that they do not corrode, degrade, or lose their mechanical properties when in contact with substances that would quickly compromise traditional plastic or metal fasteners. Whether it's the fuel - rich atmosphere in an aerospace fuel line installation or the chemical - laden under - hood environment of an automotive engine, PEEK cable ties remain reliable.
The superior wear resistance of PEEK cable ties is another key advantage. Thanks to their high - strength molecular structure, they can endure repeated friction and abrasion without significant damage. This is particularly important in applications where cables may move slightly over time, such as in the vibration - prone electrical systems of power - generating equipment.
In the aerospace industry, reliability under extreme conditions is non - negotiable. PEEK cable ties are extensively used to secure vital wiring and components in aircraft. For example, in the avionics bays, where a large number of sensitive electronic cables need to be neatly organized and firmly held in place to prevent interference and ensure proper signal transmission, PEEK cable ties provide the necessary strength and stability. They also play a crucial role in securing hydraulic and fuel lines, where any failure could have catastrophic consequences.
Specifically, the advantages of PEEK cable ties include:
• PEEK cable ties are suitable for temperature ranges from -55°C to 240°C, with extremely high temperature resistance.
• PEEK cable ties have higher strength, and the teeth on the sawtooth section are less likely to loosen than those on nylon cable ties, with greater tightening force.
• PEEK cable ties have good flame-retardant properties and can be used to bind cables on airplanes.
• PEEK cable ties are radiation-resistant and can be exposed to nuclear radiation for a long time, suitable for nuclear power plants, nuclear magnetic resonance equipment, etc.
In practical applications, PEEK cable ties can be used in the aerospace field to fix wires, cables, and pipes; in the automotive field, they can fix car wires and cables; in the power field, they are used to fix cables and insulation materials. These applications fully utilize the high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and wear resistance of PEEK cable ties.
How to use PEEK cable ties:
• Pass the PEEK cable tie through the item to be bound, such as wires, cables, or pipes.
• Tighten the cable tie: Use the self-locking clasp design to tighten the cable tie to the desired tightness, ensuring a secure binding of the item.
• Secure and trim: Confirm that the cable tie is fixed, then use scissors or a cable tie cutter to trim off any excess, keeping it neat.
Precautions:
• PEEK cable ties have high-temperature resistance and chemical resistance, suitable for harsh environments.
• Be careful when operating to avoid cutting the fixed part, which may affect the binding effect.
PEEK cable ties can be reused, and if you need to loosen them, you can use a small tool such as a flathead screwdriver to hold the release tab and pull it.
