Thomas & Betts Launches Extra High Temperature Cable Ties

Ty-Rap Extra High Temperature Cable Ties, from Thomas & Betts, are made of an advanced heat-resistant nylon and provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive metallic fasteners in high-temperature applications, the company says. They are suitable for applications ranging from minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 302 degrees Fahrenheit). The ties feature a smooth, low-profile head that resists snagging when the bundle is pulled, and an unlimited tensioning range to ensure the proper fit. Ty-Rap cable ties feature an exclusive non-magnetic, stainless steel locking wedge in the head that replaces ordinary nylon catches to secure the tie with a "grip of steel," the company reports.

"Ty-Rap Extra High Temperature Cable Ties are ideal for OEM and industrial MRO applications where excessive temperatures are a reality," said Rachelle Weiss, product manager for Thomas & Betts. "With performance equal to or better than more expensive metallic fasteners, Ty-Rap Extra High Temperature Cable Ties offer value and peace-of-mind reliability in critical applications. They also are quicker to install than metallic fasteners, lacing cord or tape, saving time and helping reduce costs."
