Ty-Rap® cable ties

In our range, you will find six types of cable ties from the Ty-Rap® brand. These are made of different materials and therefore have specific properties for specific applications. These are outlined below. In addition to these six different types, the 'regular' Ty-Rap® cable ties are also sold in workbench boxes.

The plastic cable ties of the Ty-Rap® brand are made of polyamide 6.6 and are the most commonly used type. They are suitable for most everyday applications. They have an operating temperature range of -60°C to +85°C and are halogen-free and silicone-free.

Tefzel® cable ties are made from ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, a material that is resistant to chemicals, radiation, and extreme temperatures up to 170°C. This type of cable tie is often used in environments where chemicals are handled.

Polypropylene cable ties are resistant to chemicals and will float on liquids. This makes them easy to retrieve from containers of chemicals if they end up there (after breaking).

Detectable cable ties are made from polyamide 6.6 and contain metal pigments, allowing them to be detected by metal detectors. Their blue color also makes them more visible than black cable ties. This is particularly required in the food industry.

These cable ties are similar in application to detectable cable ties made of polyamide 6.6, but since they are made from polypropylene, they are more resistant to chemicals and will float on liquids.

Ty-Rap® cable ties made of polyamide 12 are UV resistant and also extra resistant to chemicals. As a result, they have a longer lifespan than regular cable ties made from polyamide 6.6.
