Material Specifications

  MATERIALS

 SPECIFICATIONS
  Nylon 6/6 /
  Natural

General purpose nylon 6/6 is suitable for use in most practical applications. Continuous temperature ranges up to 150°F.  Nylon 6/6 is the most commonly used grade for cable tie production. Meets UL 94V-2 flammability rating. Working temperature range is from 40°F.  to 185°F.
  Nylon 6/6 / Black
  UV Stabilized

UV Stabilized nylon 6/6 is used in continuous or constant exposure in outdoor use. This nylon cable tie is a weather resistant grade and enabling it to endure additional ultraviolet (UV) light. Stabilizers are incorporated in the nylon resin upon production. Only available in black.
  Nylon 6/6 / Black
  UV Stabilized /
  Heat  Stabilized

UV / Heat Stabilized nylon 6/6 is used in continuous or constant exposure in high temperatures up to 250°F.  General purpose nylon 6/6 will have a reduction in physical properties and fatigue as a result of high temperatures. Nylon cable ties that are specially formulated with heat stabilizers provide additional thermal endurance protection. Heat stabilized nylons are engineered for continuous exposure to temperatures ranging above 185°F.  This nylon meets UL standards for electrical applications. Only available in black.
  HalarŪ

HalarŪ performs similarly to TefzelŪ. It's primary characteristic is lower smoke density when burned. HalarŪ is very desirable in areas where smoke generation is a concern, especially when bundling wire in plenum spaces.
  TefzelŪ

TefzelŪ is weaker than general purpose nylon 6/6 (about 37%). Tefzel is resistant to a wide range of chemicals including sulfuric acids and concentrated hydrofluoric acids. It is also a low water-absorbing material which has a minimal affect with moisture. Tefzel is radiation resistant up to 100 megarads and meets IEEE requirement 333. This material can also withstand high temperatures, ultraviolet light exposure, and meets UL flammability requirement 94V-0.
  Polyolefin

Flexible polyolefin tubing is rated for continuous operation from -55°C. 
(-67°F.) to 135°C. to (275°F.) and will withstand elevated temperatures up to 300°C. (572°F.) for short periods. Minimum shrink temperature for all polyolefin tubing is 100°C. (212°F.) Flexible Polyolefin Tubing: General Purpose flame-retardant insulation for UL, CSA and AMS-DTL-23053/5C applications for the ultimate in protection. Tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. Available in Class 1 (flame retardant), Class 2 (non-flame retardant) and Class 3 (flame-retardant). View the Tubing Selection Guide for additional specifications and information. Available in Class 1 (flame retardant), Class 2 (non-flame retardant) and Class 3 (flame-retardant). See the Tubing Part Numbers for additional specifications.
