A D-ring is a ring-shaped hardware accessory made of metal or plastic, named for its D-like shape. In foreign trade, it is commonly used as a hardware component for bags, handbags, safety belts, pet leashes, outdoor gear, etc., to connect webbing, hooks, or buckles, serving purposes of fixation, adjustment, or load-bearing. It is widely used in the textile, apparel, bag, leather goods, safety protection, and outdoor products industries. Note: When purchasing, specify material (e.g., zinc alloy, stainless steel, nylon), surface treatment (nickel plating, zinc plating, powder coating), dimensions (inner diameter, wire diameter), load rating, and environmental standards (e.g., ROHS, REACH). Compared to O-rings, D-rings have a straight side that prevents webbing from rotating, providing more stable directional pull; compared to square rings, D-rings are lighter and more cost-effective. In foreign trade contracts or orders, specifications should be accurately described to avoid returns or claims due to shape or strength discrepancies.
📝 Examples
1. We urgently need to purchase a batch of zinc alloy D-rings for producing pet leashes. Please provide specifications and REACH test reports. (Note: Purchase inquiry, specifying material, use, and certification requirements.)
2. The contract stipulates that the D-ring load capacity should be no less than 200 kg, but sampling inspection upon arrival found some products broken. Please arrange replacement or refund. (Note: Quality dispute, emphasizing load-bearing指标 and acceptance standards.)
