Material Selection for Weather Exposure
Panduit cable ties were exposed to weather for prolonged lengths of time outside
our manufacturing facility in Illinois, USA, without loss of performance or signs of
corrosion. Loop tensile strength increased from year one to year four and remained
stable over time.

Material Selection for Salt Spray Resistance
Panduit cable ties were subjected to salt spray testing for 2,000 hours at 95°F (35°C).
Both materials showed no signs of corrosion. The 316 Stainless Steel had trace surface
staining and is recommended for mission critical applications. The 304 Stainless Steel
had moderate surface staining and is recommended for general applications.
