General
There is a number of factors to be considered when choosing the proper materials for a
specic environment. It is extremely difcult to provide data on all the possible combinations
or conditions that can occur and therefore, it is recommended that this information be used
as a guideline and that cable tie samples be tested in the intended application, by the user, to
determine suitability.
How to use the table
If your application is in an extremely cold environment, three materials will answer your need:
ETFE Fluoropolymer, Polyamide 12 and stainless steel. If you also require high tensile strength,
then stainless steel is your best choice. Where high strength is not required, Polyamide 12
might be your choice as it is the less costly.
This information is based on data provided by the manufacturers of the specic materials
listed and is provided only as a general guide. No specic recommendation is intended. As
each application may vary, testing should be conducted by the user in the intended environ-
ment.
Table 1 gives relative performance ratings of the different materials we offer. Chemical resis-
tance is shown in Table 2
