Metal detectable cable tie
20 March 2014
MDT cable ties from Partex can be readily located using standard metal detection systems, making them suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical and similar applications.

The ties, coloured blue (RAL 5002) to aid visual detection and to make them easily distinguishable from standard ties, are manufactured from high-quality nylon with a uniformly distributed metal content. Even small fragments of the ties can be reliably detected, irrespective of the part of the tie from which they originate.
Competitively priced, the ties come in four sizes: 140 x 3.5mm, 200 x 4.5mm, 280 x 4.5mm and 380 x 4.5mm and are suitable for application by hand or with a standard cable-tie gun.
The nylon material is self-extinguishing in line with the requirements of UL94 V2; ties have an operating temperature range of -40 ºC to +100ºC.
