General
There is a number of factors to be considered when choosing the
proper materials for a specific environment. It is extremely
difficult 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 Table 1:
If your application is in an extremely cold environment, three
materials will answer your need: Tefzel
®
*, 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 specific materials listed and is provided only as a general
guide. No specific recommendation is intended. As each
application may vary, testing should be conducted by the user in
the intended environment.
Table 1 gives relative performance ratings of the different materials
we offer. Chemical resistance is shown in Table 2
