Diverse Applications from a Simple Product
Because Strong-Ty® cable ties are made from Kynar® PVDF they are ideal for severe environments where combinations of high temperature, corrosion, UV radiation and mechanical stresses lead to rapid failure of commodity plastics such as polyamide (nylon), polyethylene or polypropylene. Unlike these common plastics, Kynar® PVDF will not ignite and burn in normal atmospheric conditions and does not generate smoke. These properties allow Strong-Ty® cable ties to meet the National Electrical Code (NFPA-70A) and UL94V-0 requirements for installation in building plenums.
Material properties of PVDF allow the sterilization of Strong-Ty® PVDF cable ties by radiation, chemical or autoclave methods without loss of strength or flexibility. Designed with a flexible internal hinge and a curved tip, Strong-Ty® cable ties are easy to use and provide consistent and reliable performance. Each injection-molded cable tie is individually identified so any performance variation can be tracked and corrected. ISO 13485 manufacturing and packaging offers the highest level of confidence in quality-made zip ties.
Strong-Ty® High-Purity cable ties are available in natural unpigmented Kynar® PVDF. These cable ties are ideal for corrosive process applications where test data show that exposure to chemicals such as hydrochloric, sulfuric and hydrofluoric acids results in no loss of physical properties. Excellent non-flammability properties and heat resistance make Strong-Ty® High-Purity and Strong-Ty® Industrial ties a better choice for organizing wires, cables and hoses in plenum spaces, under the hood and in appliance and computer cabinet interiors. All of our Strong-Ty® cable ties are durable and resist abrasion and mechanical damage during and after installation.
Strong-Ty® PVDF cable ties are available in the following configurations:
Strong-Ty® High-Purity – manufactured and packaged inside a cleanroom according to ISO 13485:2016 procedure and designed for use in biopharma and semiconductor environments and in the production of high-purity chemicals. These cable ties have also passed ISO 10993-5:2009 Cytotoxicity Testing. In order to maintain product traceability, these ties are made from 100% pure virgin Kynar® PVDF and contain no regrind or recycled material.
Strong-Ty® Industrial – using 100% Kynar® recycled material, these PVDF ties are injection molded in a standard production environment and pigmented blue. These cable ties are ideal for wire and cable management and chemical process applications and are not lot traceable.
