TY-RAP® TYGENIC™ ANTIMICROBIAL DETECTABLE CABLE TIES

Enhances safety and helps protect against costly contamination and waste in hygiene-critical locations.

ENGINEERED FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE

As the industry's first antimicrobial and detectable two-piece cable tie, ABB's Ty-Rap TyGenic solutions deliver breakthrough contamination protection for food and beverage processing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and other contamination-sensitive industries. Molded from FDA-compliant and EU food contact-approved, proprietary halogen-free nylon resin or polypropylene blend with EPA registered antimicrobial additives and detectable particles, these ties protect against a broad spectrum of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, protozoans and fungi such as mold and mildew. Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties complement cleaning protocols, resist microbes from adhering and replicating on its surface, and are designed with UV-resistant material for operating temperatures up to 85 °C (185 °F).

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

<p>Supporting a wide range of applications, ABB's Ty-Rap cable ties and accessories are available in multiple materials, each engineered for specific environments.</p>

Protection

<p>99% effective at prohibiting common surface microbes from forming on the cable tie (tested by an independent laboratory).</p>

Temperature-resistant

<p>Operates in temperatures up to 85°C (185°F).</p>

Detectable

<p>Colored a distinctive deep blue, the ties contain detectable particles for easier identification using visual, x-ray and metal detection systems. This three-way detectability helps ensure cable tie pieces don’t end up in any products.</p>

Corrosion-resistant

<p>Grip of Steel securely locks with marine-grade stainless steel barb.</p>

Compliant

<p>Certifications include UL and RoHS. Molded from FDA and EU food contact-approved materials.</p>

Reliable

<p>Trusted performance of ABB's Ty-Rap cable ties.</p>
