Comprehensive Range of Nylon Cable Tie Products

Since its inception in 2008, KST has been dedicated to the development of its cable tie product line. By 2010, KST had successfully established a manufacturing facility exclusively for nylon cable ties. At present, our company proudly manufactures a wide range of nylon cable ties, including Mounting, Releasable, Heavy Duty, Markable, Plug, Push, Releasable Push Mount Cable Ties, as well as Weather-resistant UV Cable Ties. Our commitment to quality and innovation remains unwavering.

Premium Materials Ensures Durability

At our facility, we utilize top-quality engineered plastics and plastic injection materials sourced from premium suppliers in the production of our plastic products. This commitment to using high-grade materials ensures the durability and performance of our offerings.

Leading Edge Machinery

Moreover, we have made significant investments in precision plastic extrusion and injection machines imported from renowned manufacturers in Japan and Europe. This strategic decision guarantees the stability of our production processes and upholds the highest standards of quality. Additionally, our highly automated production line enhances our capacity, enabling us to efficiently handle both large-scale orders and an increasing number of small orders without compromising customization.

In our manufacturing processes, we rely on PA66, a widely acclaimed material known for its exceptional mechanical strength, rigidity, and excellent stability under heat and chemical exposure. This choice ensures that our products meet the stringent requirements of industries where these properties are essential.

Machine Vision

From injection mold production, continuous reel product production, carbon embedded injection production, all of our product lines have achieved a high degree of automation including 2.5D vision inspection equipment, and undergo prescribed industry-standard environmental, strength, material, and electrical testing processes.

Embedded Metal / Ceramic

Insert Plastic Injection Molding (IM) is a specialized process offered by KST. It involves embedding metal, plastic, or ceramic parts within plastic to enhance the structure of a product.

During IM, the desired part is carefully positioned within a mold cavity. The chosen plastic material is then injected directly around the part, resulting in a unified component with the insert(s) securely embedded in the plastic. Engineered plastics are typically used in this process to improve durability, tensile strength, and achieve weight reduction.

Provides Path to Cost Reduction 

IM presents an efficient and straightforward alternative to assembling individual parts using soldering, connectors, fasteners, or adhesives. By leveraging the capabilities of plastic, it also enables cost reduction by minimizing the amount of expensive metal required to manufacture a part. A key advantage of this process is that it can be performed using a standard single-shot injection machine, leading to lower tooling costs compared to multi-shot processes.

Reduces Assembly and Labor Costs

The process of Injection Molding (IM) offers the advantage of securely bonding multiple components together using thermoplastic materials. When combined with automation, this process significantly reduces assembly and labor costs. An excellent example of this is the utilization of a stamped metal insert to create a perforated IM part, effectively generating an insulated multi-path circuit.

IM provides the opportunity to eliminate the need for fasteners and connectors. By harnessing the bonding strength of resin and metal inserts, IM enables the production of smaller, lighter, and more durable components.

Integration of Complex Parts

Engineers highly appreciate the flexibility and possibilities afforded by IM. It allows for the integration of complex stamped metal or formed parts. The external resin layer provides insulation, while the internal metal component creates a dedicated multi-path electric circuit.

IM components greatly reduce the likelihood of parts loosening, misalignment, or electrical disconnection. Moreover, the use of thermoplastic resin enhances the shock and vibration durability of the materials.

Insertion of Materials:

IM involves the insertion of various metals, including frame die castings, plated copper pins, sockets, and wire embedded into engineering plastic or thermoplastic rubber (TPR).

Solid Rubber/Silicone Products

Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) is a highly preferred manufacturing process for creating solid silicone rubber products, thanks to the outstanding durability and flexibility characteristics of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) or similar elastomeric materials. LIM enables the production of a wide range of products, including:

• Seals and sealing membranes
• Electrical and electronic components, such as connectors and cables
• Medical devices and sterile equipment
• Kitchen goods
• Watersports equipment
• Gas masks
• Military gear
• Waterproof device cases
• Infant care products

Precise Molding of Complex Shapes and Intricate Designs

The versatility of LIM allows for the precise molding of complex shapes and intricate designs, ensuring the desired functionality and performance of the end products. With its exceptional material properties, LIM delivers superior quality and reliability across various industries.

LIM leverages Liquid Silicone Rubber

Liquid injection molding utilizes the exceptional characteristics of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), necessitating a streamlined and consistent mechanical mixing process instead of a labor-intensive one. This closed-loop process employs a pump and mixing unit to thoroughly blend and dispense the liquid material into a molding press. Following the curing stage, the press opens, and the product is either manually or robotically extracted.

Versatile and Cost-effective Manufacturing Process

Liquid injection molding stands out as one of the most versatile and cost-effective manufacturing methods available today. It finds application in a multitude of industries and markets, including:

• Aerospace and aviation
• Automotive
• Electronics
• Food and beverage
• Medical and dental

Materials Sourcing

We source our LSR materials from trusted manufacturers such as Shin Etsu, Dow Corning, and GE Silicones. These reputable suppliers ensure the highest quality and performance of our liquid injection molded products.
