Cable Ties

A nylon tie wire, also known as a cable tie, zip tie, or tie wrap, is a type of fastener manufactured from nylon 6/6 material designed for holding items together, primarily electrical cables and wires. Nylon tie wires feature a flexible tape section with teeth that engage with a pawl in the head to form a ratchet mechanism, allowing the tie to tighten securely without coming undone. These versatile fasteners are ubiquitous in both professional and domestic applications due to their low cost, ease of use, and exceptional binding strength.

Key Characteristics of Nylon Tie Wires:

• Nylon 6/6 Construction: Made from high-quality polyamide material for superior strength and durability

• Self-locking Mechanism: One-piece design with integrated ratchet system for secure fastening

• UL94V-2 Rated: Flame-resistant properties meeting safety standards for electrical applications

• Temperature Resistant: Operating range typically from -40°C to +85°C

• UV Resistant Options: Black variants with UV stabilisers for outdoor applications

Nylon tie wire and cable ties are essentially the same product, with "nylon tie wire" being an alternative term used to describe standard cable ties made from nylon material. The terminology varies by region and industry, but both refer to the same fundamental fastening solution.

Common Alternative Names:

• Cable Ties: Most widely used term in professional and commercial settings

• Zip Ties: Popular consumer-friendly name, especially in retail environments

• Tie Wraps: Traditional industry term still used in electrical and automotive applications

• Wire Ties: Emphasises their primary function in electrical applications

The choice of terminology doesn't affect the product's functionality or specifications - they all refer to the same nylon 6/6 fastening solution.
