- Metal Detectable – ideal for food processing and hygiene sensitive environments
- Heat Stabilised Nylon 6.6 – increased thermal resistance
- Flame Retardant Polypropylene – for fire safety compliance
- Halar®, Tefzel®, PEEK® – chemical resistance and durability in harsh environments
2. Styles & Features
- Standard cable ties for everyday usage
- Releasable & Push-Mount Ties – for temporary or adjustable fastenings

3. Use Cases & Application Scenarios
Cable ties are used in many environments — selecting the right style and material is crucial:
- Outdoor installations exposed to UV, rain, or salt air
- Food processing or cleanroom settings requiring food-grade or detectable ties
- Chemical or high temperature environments needing special plastics or metals
- Electrical and telecommunications for cable bundling in panels or conduit systems
- Marking or tagging ties for asset identification or safety labelling
4. Strength, Size & Tensile Ratings
Understanding load, size, and rating helps ensure cable ties perform reliably:
- Tensile strength – high load or heavy bundle requirements
- Tie width and length – ensure fit around bundle and secure fastening
- Locking mechanism type – standard ratchet, releasable, push-mount etc.
- Thickness and material durability, especially under stress or flex
5. Buying & Maintenance Tips
- Choose UV and weather stabilisation when outdoor exposure is expected
- Store ties flat & avoid exposure to direct sunlight before use
- Use correct installation tools (tie guns or manual) to avoid overtightening or damaging ties
- Check compatibility of tie materials with the environment (chemicals, salt, heat etc.)
- Inspect metal detectability for use in food or hygiene sensitive zones
