What is Vinyl-coated steel wire rope?

Vinyl-coated steel wire ropes are composite ropes with a high-strength steel core and a vinyl outer layer. The plastic coating provides excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and abrasion, as well as UV rays, grease, and moisture. Available in a variety of colors and with a soft feel, these ropes combine the strength of a steel core with the protective properties of plastic. They are widely used in marine mooring, outdoor protection, lashing, and decorative applications.

What is Vinyl?

Vinyl coatings are primarily composed of vinyl resin, with plasticizers added to enhance flexibility, heat stabilizers to prevent high-temperature decomposition, and colorants to impart color. These ingredients are then heated and plasticized to form a strong, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and colorful protective layer on the metal surface.

Benefits & Features

Corrosion-resistant and weather-resistant

The vinyl coating on the surface isolates moisture, acids, and alkalis, preventing rust and making the wire rope durable in humid, outdoor environments.

Abrasion-resistant and scratch-resistant

The coating increases surface hardness, reduces friction loss, and extends the life of the wire rope in towing and hanging applications.

Safe insulation

The vinyl material insulates the cable and can be used around electrical equipment, preventing electric shock hazards. It is also burr-free and reduces the risk of scratches.

Colorful

Available in a variety of custom colors, including black, white, green, blue, and red, to match the appearance requirements of various scenarios, combining functionality and aesthetics.

Flexibility

The coating does not affect the inherent toughness of the wire rope, making it easy to bend and twist, making it suitable for complex installations and usage scenarios.

Low-maintenance

No frequent oiling is required to prevent rust; daily cleaning requires only a simple wipe, reducing maintenance costs and workload.

Uses for Plastic-Coated Cable

Building Electrical

For indoor and outdoor lighting circuits and socket wiring. The coating protects against moisture corrosion and is suitable for concealed or exposed installations on walls and ceilings in residential and commercial buildings.

Industrial Equipment Connection

As power cables for machine tools, production line motors, and other equipment, the insulating coating isolates oil and dust, preventing short circuit risks and ensuring stable equipment operation.

Outdoor Facility Power

Suitable for outdoor power supply for street lights, garden lights, and surveillance equipment. Resistant to sun, rain, and UV aging, it resists cracking over long-term use, minimizing outdoor power supply failures.

Agricultural Production

For wiring irrigation equipment and temperature control instruments in greenhouses. The coating resists corrosion from fertilizers and pesticides, and its insulation prevents electric shock hazards in humid environments.

Household Appliance Wiring and Daily Use

For internal or external wiring for appliances such as washing machines, air conditioners, and ovens, as well as clotheslines, and for hanging, fixing, and decorative items in homes, warehouses, or shops.

Transportation Equipment

Used for internal circuit wiring in electric vehicles and motorcycles, the coating is vibration-resistant and resistant to high and low temperatures (-15°C to 60°C), making it suitable for the complex driving environment.

Can vinyl-coated cables be used in marine applications?

Yes, vinyl-coated cables, especially stainless steel types, are ideal for marine environments due to their rust resistance and durable coating.

Vinyl coated steel wire ropes of different materials

1. Vinyl Coated Galvanized Wire Rope

Galvanized vinyl-coated steel rope comes with an additional coating for corrosion resistance. It is slightly stronger than stainless steel, but if that additional coating is scratched, it may lead to rusting.

The vinyl coating prevents the galvanized layer from being damaged, and the double protection will greatly extend the life of the rope, but this type of wire rope is still best suited for short-term applications with less wear and tear.

 

2. Vinyl Coated Stainless Steel Cable

The type 304 stainless steel vinyl-coated wire rope will provide a better level of protection from rust and other corrosion. It has a lower break strength (BS) – for example, the 1/8″ stainless rope has a BS of 1,760 lbs., while the 1/8″ galvanized rope has a BS of 2,000 lbs. – but will hold up well against abrasion, making it the better choice for long-term applications. Its higher corrosion resistance also makes it suitable for marine environments.

Common structures

1) 7×7 Construction
Consists of seven strands of seven wires. Generally used for small diameters. Less flexible than 7×19 construction, but it offers better abrasion resistance.

2) 7×19 Construction
Consists of seven strands of nineteen wires. Most flexible and widely used constructions well-suited for a multitude of applications.

3) 1×7 Construction

Measuring Wire Rope

The diameter of a wire rope is the diameter of the circle that encloses all the wires. When measuring wire rope, it is important to take the greatest distance of the outer limits of the ‘crowns’ of the two opposite strands. A measurement across the valleys will result in incorrect (lower) readings.

 

Reading Wire Rope Structure

The standard format is: “Number of Strands × Number of Wires per Strand + Rope Core.”
Example: 6 × 36 + IWRC.
“6”: Indicates the wire rope is made of 6 twisted strands of steel wire.

“36”: Indicates 36 filaments per strand.

“+”: Separator.

“IWRC”: Indicates the rope core type is an independent wire rope core. Other common core types:

(1) FC (Fiber Core): Fiber core (synthetic or natural), offers flexibility but lacks high-temperature resistance.

(2) IWRC (Independent Wire Rope Core): Independent wire rope core, offering compression and high-temperature resistance and high strength.

(3) WSC (Wire Strand Core): Wire strand core, offering performance between FC and IWRC.

 

Directional Identification

Lay Direction: Observe the lay direction of the strands relative to the rope core.

(1) Right-hand lay: The most common, with the strands twisted to the right and the filaments twisted to the left. It offers excellent rotation resistance.

(2) Left-hand lay: The strands are twisted to the left, and the filaments twisted to the right.

(3) Right-hand lay: Both the strands and the rope are twisted to the right. This makes the rope easier to twist but also more flexible and wear-resistant.

(4) Left-hand lay: Both the strands and the rope are twisted to the left.

Standard export packaging

Vinyl coated wire rope supplier – Wanzhi Steel

Wanzhi Steel produces high-quality vinyl coated steel wire ropes that are more resistant to UV rays than nylon coated wire ropes. The construction of this wire rope strikes a good balance between wear resistance and flexibility, the galvanized surface is corrosion resistant, and each wire rope is pre-formed to maintain its shape and prevent the rope from unraveling when cut. It can provide the flexibility needed for repeated bending on drums and pulleys, and the stainless steel wire rope can withstand outdoor and washdown applications.
