KYA S05 Series polymer composite staples are 19 gauge non-metal fasteners with a 12.7mm / 1/2" crown and smooth legs. The series is available in multiple leg lengths from 4mm to 14mm for industrial fastening applications where conventional metal staples are not preferred.
The staple profile measures approximately 1.30mm wide × 1.20mm thick. KYA lists S05 staples at 5,040 pieces per box and 40 boxes per carton across the current size range.
Polymer composite staples are used in applications such as lumber wrap, lumber tagging, house wrap, radiant barrier installation, boatbuilding, fiberglass lay-up, composite manufacturing, casket lining and casegoods tagging. Their non-metal construction is also useful where steel corrosion, electrical conductivity or embedded metal fasteners are undesirable.

S05 staples are manufactured from polymer composite rather than conventional steel wire. This construction is intended for industrial processes where embedded metal fasteners may interfere with corrosion-sensitive materials, electrical applications, metal-detection systems or later machining operations.
Polymer composite staples provide a non-metal fastening option for applications where conventional steel staples are undesirable. They can be used in wood products, composites, fiberglass manufacturing and packaging processes where embedded metal needs to be minimized.
Because the staple is manufactured from polymer composite rather than carbon steel, it does not develop the red rust associated with ordinary steel staples. This can help avoid metal rust staining in suitable wood, composite and marine manufacturing applications.
Polymer composite staples are used in manufacturing processes where the completed workpiece may later be sawn, sanded or planed. Unlike hidden steel staples, a polymer fastener does not introduce a conventional metal wire into the cutting path.
Cutting-tool compatibility still depends on the exact polymer formulation, blade material, machine speed and production process. When staples will pass directly through cutting or moulding equipment, test the fastener with the intended tooling before full-scale production.
The non-metal polymer construction is useful where electrically conductive steel fasteners are undesirable. For electrical or safety-critical applications, the complete assembly should still be evaluated against the required electrical specification.
Polymer composite staples are commonly selected for products that later pass through metal-detection equipment because the fastener itself is non-metal. Actual detector response depends on equipment sensitivity and the complete product being inspected.
Composite staple manufacturers describe the material interface as developing a glue-like bond in suitable substrates. Final holding performance depends on staple length, receiving material, density, installation depth and tool setup.
KYA currently lists five S05 configurations with a common 12.7mm crown. Packaging remains 5,040 staples per box and 40 boxes per carton, while carton dimensions vary by leg length.
| Item | Crown × Leg | Pcs / Box | Boxes / Carton | Carton Size |

Selected packaging operations where embedded metal is undesirable
Lumber processing is a common application for non-metal composite fasteners. Polymer staples can hold tags and wrapping materials without leaving conventional steel wire embedded in lumber that may later be processed through saws, planers or other equipment.
Choose the shortest leg that provides adequate engagement for the wrap or tag and receiving material. Thicker packaging materials or denser lumber may require a longer S05 staple after application testing.
Polymer composite staples are used as fastening aids in fiberglass and composite manufacturing where embedded steel fasteners are undesirable. The non-metal fastener can remain in selected assemblies without introducing a conventional steel staple into the laminate.
When a staple will remain permanently embedded in a composite component, validate compatibility with the resin system, laminate construction, processing temperature and required finished-part performance.
House wrap and radiant barrier installation are established applications for polymer composite staples. The wide 12.7mm crown provides a broad contact area across thin sheet materials.
The required staple length depends on the wrap material, underlying substrate and installation specification. Polymer staples should only be used where the building material manufacturer permits this type of fastener.
| Selection Factor | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Attached Material Thickness | Allow enough staple leg to remain after passing through the wrap, tag, fabric or composite layer. |
| Receiving Material | Wood density, composite structure and material hardness affect penetration and retention. |
| Tool Length Range | The stapler must accept the selected S05 leg length as well as the 19GA composite staple profile. |
| Post-Processing | Consider whether the workpiece will later be cut, routed, sanded or planed. |
| Holding Requirement | Test the selected staple length in the actual material when retention is important. |
Polymer composite staples require staplers designed to handle the specific staple cross section, crown and strip geometry. Do not assume that a conventional metal-staple tool will accept an S05 composite staple simply because both are described as 19 gauge.
The OMER 81P Series is a relevant reference platform for 19 gauge, 1/2" crown polymer composite staples. Its published fastener range covers approximately 6.4mm through 14mm S/05-type staples. Exact compatibility with KYA staples should still be confirmed by staple profile and strip dimensions.
| Reference Tool / System | Published Range | Compatibility Note |
|---|---|---|
| OMER 81P Series | 19GA composite staples, approximately 6.4–14mm | Relevant S/05-type reference; confirm exact KYA staple profile and strip geometry |
| RAPTOR CT-6000P | Manual S/05 composite staples, approximately 6.4 / 9.5 / 14mm | Reference only; verify exact KYA dimensions before use |
| Other Composite Staplers | Must accept 19GA, 12.7mm crown composite staples | Provide manufacturer and model before ordering |
The 4mm S05-04 size is shorter than the published minimum length of the OMER 81P and RAPTOR CT-6000P reference tools. Do not assume those tools support the 4mm KYA staple without confirmation.
| Feature | Polymer Composite | Conventional Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Non-metal polymer composite | Steel or other metal |
| Steel Rust | Does not develop steel rust | Corrosion resistance depends on metal and coating |
| Electrical Conductivity | Non-metal material | Steel is electrically conductive |
| Sawing / Sanding / Planing | Used where downstream machining may pass through the fastener | Hidden metal can contact blades and cutters |
| Metal Detection | Useful where a non-metal fastener is required | Metal fastener can be detected by metal-detection systems |
| Tool | Composite-staple-compatible tool required | Stapler matched to the specified metal staple series |
A key reason for selecting polymer composite staples is the ability to process the workpiece after fastening. However, not every polymer formulation behaves identically with every cutting tool.
For operations involving high-speed steel moulder knives, delicate blades or high-speed production equipment, perform a machining test before running large production quantities. Carbide tooling and other blade materials can respond differently to the polymer fastener.
If downstream blade protection is a critical purchasing requirement, provide the cutting process and tool material when requesting the staple specification.
For accurate product matching and quotation, provide the required S05 leg length, purchasing quantity, stapler manufacturer and model, application, attached material, receiving material and delivery destination.
For replacement purchasing, specify 19 Gauge S05 polymer composite staple, 12.7mm crown, 1.30 × 1.20mm staple profile together with the required leg length.

KYA S05 staples are 19 gauge with a 12.7mm / 1/2" crown and an approximately 1.30 × 1.20mm staple profile. Available leg lengths are 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 9.5mm and 14mm.
No. The S05 series is manufactured from non-metal polymer composite material.
They do not develop the steel rust associated with conventional carbon-steel staples because the staple itself is non-metal polymer composite.
Polymer composite staples are used in processes where workpieces are later sawn, sanded or planed. Compatibility with a particular blade or cutter depends on the polymer formulation and machining setup, so production testing is recommended when the tool will pass directly through the staple.
Do not assume every polymer staple formulation is safe for every high-speed steel knife. Different composite material grades can behave differently. Test the staple with the actual blade material and machining process when blade protection is critical.
They are non-metal polymer composite fasteners and are used where electrically conductive steel staples are undesirable. For electrical safety applications, verify the complete assembly against the required specification.
Polymer composite staples are commonly selected for metal-detector-sensitive processes because the fastener itself is non-metal. Confirm performance using the actual metal detector and production settings.
Yes. Lumber wrap and lumber tagging are established applications for 19 gauge polymer composite staples.
Yes. Boatbuilding, fiberglass lay-up and composite manufacturing are established applications for this type of non-metal fastener. Confirm compatibility with the resin and manufacturing process if the staple remains in the finished laminate.
Yes, these are established applications for polymer composite staples. Select the leg length according to the sheet material and substrate and confirm that the building material manufacturer permits this fastener type.
Use a stapler designed for 19 gauge, 12.7mm crown polymer composite staples. OMER 81P Series tools are a relevant reference for S/05-type composite staples in approximately 6.4–14mm lengths, but exact KYA staple and strip compatibility should be confirmed before use.
Do not assume so. The published OMER 81P composite-staple range begins at approximately 6.4mm, so the KYA 4mm S05-04 is shorter than that published range.
KYA lists 5,040 staples per box and 40 boxes per carton across the current S05 size range.
