Cable Ties Made From Recycled Nylon
Panduit recently introduced its Post-Industrial Recycled Nylon 6.6 Cable Ties.
“Created with up to 100% post-industrial recycled nylon, the latest addition to the Panduit cable tie lineup helps organizations meet sustainability goals by reducing their carbon footprint through the use of recycled material content in these cable tie products,” the company said when introducing them.
“Post-Industrial Recycled Nylon 6.6 cable ties provide long-lasting performance, making them an effective alternative to standard plastic cable ties,” Panduit continued. “They are impact-modified, heat-stabilized, and UV-resistant to support outdoor or indoor installations.”
Ana Bakas, Panduit senior product manager, commented, “Panduit Post-Industrial Recycled Nylon 6.6 cable ties reduce the polluting impact of industrial plastic waste deposited into our landfills and oceans, without sacrificing product quality and reliability. The utilize Panduit world-proven cable tie designs with features that improve operational efficiencies and are built to last.”
The ties feature a curved, tapered tip that threads easily into their head. They also provide low thread force, which Panduit says enables easy and reliable installation, and reduces operator fatigue compared to other ties.
Panduit points out the ties are particularly appropriate for applications including transportation (overcoming challenges around safety standards and certification requirements), electrification (helping organize and secure bundles), and renewable energy (organizing and maintaining solar installations, wind turbines, and battery-management systems). Regardless of application, the Post-Industrial Recycled Nylon 6.6 Cable Ties meet a number of standards and specifications, particularly including the following.
- UKCA marking
- CE marking
- RoHS; EU REACH
- UL 62275 approval (Type 2S, 21S classification)
- Needle flame test per IEC 62275
- UL 2809 validated for recycled content certification
- Resin material certified to SCS Recycled Content Standard
- CONEG/EU Packaging
