Dura-Ty Cable Tie Heavy Acetal UV

Product Information

Specification

About:

"Dura-Ty Cable Tie Heavy Acetal UV" indicates a type of cable tie that is specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications. The ties are made from acetal, a thermoplastic renowned for its strength and durability. The addition of "UV" in the name suggests that these cable ties have been treated or manufactured to resist degradation from ultraviolet light, making them suitable for use in outdoor or sun-exposed environments.

Also Known As:

• Heavy-duty zip ties
• UV-resistant tie wraps
• Acetal bundling straps
• Industrial cable ties

Common Applications:

• Outdoor infrastructure, securing signs, lighting, or solar panels where ties are exposed to the elements.
• Marine applications, where the combination of UV resistance and the non-corrosive nature of acetal is beneficial.
• Industrial settings for bundling cables, hoses, or components that require a strong hold.
• Automotive applications, especially in engine bays where components need to be secured against vibration and heat.

Standards Met:

• UL certification for recognized components in electrical systems.
• Military specifications, if they are designed for use in military hardware.
• RoHS compliance, ensuring the ties do not contain hazardous substances.
• ASTM standards relevant to the material properties of acetal and UV resistance.

Construction:

• A strip of acetal plastic, known for high tensile strength and stiffness.
• A locking mechanism that is resistant to slippage and can handle significant loads.
• UV stabilizers integrated into the plastic to ensure durability under sun exposure.
• Possibly a variety of colors, though black is common for UV-resistant ties as it contains carbon black, a natural UV inhibitor.

Features:

• Enhanced tensile strength suitable for heavy-duty applications.
• Resistance to degradation from UV light, as well as potentially other environmental factors like saltwater or chemicals.
• Self-locking design for ease of use.
• Various lengths and widths to accommodate different bundle sizes and strength requirements.
