Panduit Introduces new Nylon 612 Cable Ties - Now with a 20 year warranty

With costs rising, it is now more critical than ever to secure your cables using the correct material for the application.

Traditional Natural Nylon Cable Ties have an anticipated outdoor service life of only 1-2 years. Using Weather Resistant Cable Ties increases this anticipated life expectancy to 7-9 years. Factors such as UV exposure, bundle diameter, interaction with chemicals can adversely affect the life expectancy of these cable ties. REMEMBER, the cost of replacing ties that age prematurely is not just the cost of the replacement tie, you must also include the cost of the labour to install the replacement tie. Exposure to chemicals has the most detrimental affect on the life expectancy of the cable tie.

Panduit’s introduction of its new Nylon 612 cable tie can address these issues.

Traditionally, a number of these issues could be addressed by using cable ties made of Nylon 12 material. However, due to the energy crisis and demand currently exceeding capacity of Nylon 12 following the pandemic it has become more difficult to source and costs are rising.

Panduit has become the first cable tie manufacturer to use Nylon 612 in the production of cable ties and to warranty their usage.

Nylon 612 demonstrates many benefits over the use of Nylon 12 and other alternatives.

• Panduit Nylon 612 has an increased anticipated outdoor life expectancy of 20 years. This gives the installer the benefit of “fit and forget” and reduces the risk of compromising the integrity of the installation. No replacement tie costs, no additional labour costs.
• Panduit Nylon 612 also displays superior loop tensile strength over Nylon 12 when exposed to Zinc Chloride. Zinc is frequently used on containment as a corrosion resistant coating on mild steel cable tray.
• Panduit Nylon 612 has improved performance in terms of tensile strength retention over time against Nylon 12, when exposed to UV.
• Panduit Nylon 612 also displays improved tensile elongation retention over time against Nylon 12, when exposed to UV.
• Due to its improved performance over Nylon 12, Panduit’s range of Nylon 612 cable ties are the ideal solution on galvanised surfaces and frames.

Panduit’s Nylon 612 cable ties’ improved strength, better chemical resistance and longer life, make them the ideal solution for Alternative Energy Applications as well as more traditional energy applications.
