Plastic Ring Seal Fixed Length 188mm For Truck

Plastic security seals are an effective tool used in all sectors of activity. They ensure the traceability of goods or the identification of security equipment thanks to a unique identification number. This allows them to act as a deterrent and witness to fraud thanks to their single-use closure. In this article, discover how a plastic seal works and the different possible applications.

Plastic seals are usually a notched plastic tie with a tag at the end to record the identification number. This seal is inserted into a passageway and is closed by sliding the plastic tie through the hole at the end. The tightening of the seal is progressive and adaptable thanks to the beaded wire which allows a non-return for a single use. A plastic seal can be easily opened by breaking it by hand, tearing the tab or cutting it with scissors.

Plastic seals can withstand a pull of several kilos and temperatures between -20°C and 60°C.

Plastic seals are available in different colours (white, blue, yellow, red, green, orange etc.) This can be very useful to categorise secure equipment, for example: yellow for fire extinguishers, blue for medical cabinets, green for defibrillators, white for doors, black for electricity meters.

Use bright colours to make equipment visible and secure in dark places or far from the eye.

In addition to the colour, it is possible to personalise the security seals with your logo, numbering, barcode for more security and to optimise your company's image.

Every company must provide fire safety devices such as fire extinguishers and regularly check their conformity according to the requirements of the regulations on protective installations. One of the requirements mentioned is the presence of safety seals holding the pin of the extinguisher to prevent tampering with the extinguisher. They also certify that the extinguisher cartridge is intact. The seal must therefore not be missing or broken during an inspection, otherwise it would be evidence of a breach.

Plastic seals are ideal for identifying and protecting fire extinguishers. They resist the traction exerted by the fire extinguisher but are easy to break in case of emergency thanks to their stems with balls or notches. In addition, they allow the extinguisher to be identified by its unique identification number.

Fixed-length plastic seals are among the strongest type of plastic seal, with breaking strengths ranging from 80-135lbs. These seals work exceptionally well for securing cargo for truck shipments. Fixed-length seals are inexpensive, so they are a good option when cost is a concern.

Pull-tight seals are similar to fixed-length plastic seals, except that they come in a wider variety of breaking strengths and are adjustable to match specific needs. For example, pull-tight seals can be used for sealing hazardous waste, fire extinguishers, cash bags, vehicle doors, and more. Adjustable plastic seals are a good option when you have various needs as they are versatile.

Cable seals are durable seals that are used to seal valves, locked doors, and other items that have a small opening through which a cable wire can be inserted. Some cable seals meet ISO 17712 ratings for high security, so can be used for high-security situations like international cargo shipping. Different size jobs require different cable lengths, although excess cable length can be easily trimmed. They also come in different cable diameters, typically ranging from 1.5mm to 5mm.

Bolt seals are another high-security seal option that are designed with a complex locking mechanism yet are self-locking so do not require tools and are easy to put in place. They have a steel bolt and a tamper-evident body part that are manually attached to form a seal. They are customizable by color, print, and barcoding for additional security layers. These seals are ideal for containers, trailer door latches, and cross border shipments. These heavy duty seals require a bolt cutter to be removed.

Since precision turning machines operate autonmously and without any manual intervention, they bypass the possibility of human errors seeping into the manufacturing process, leading ro defects. With codes and software programs governing the end-to-end process, the machines can deliver greater accuracy without any flaws.

Padlock seals are relatively small seals and are extremely easy to use. They typically are used to prevent doors from being opened. Wire padlock seals are ideal for securing meters and drums, while plastic padlock seals are ideal for securing food and beverage carts, first aid kits, and zipper bags.

Twist Meter seals are used with electric or gas or water meters and usually molded in polycarbonate. The transparent body of the seal means that the locking mechanism is visible, and can provide clear indication of tampering. Meter seals can withstand exposure to sunlight and extreme weather, and a wide range of temperatures. Designed for only a single use, they are destroyed when removed. Some meter seals contain components which glow under ultraviolet light, allowing the seal to be easily located in darkness.

Tote Seals are a range of security seals are designed to secure specific makes and models of plastic containers and tote boxes.
