Cable ties
Are you looking for cable ties (also called zip ties)? A cable tie (zip tie) provides an easy and safe solution to bundle cables or other objects. Our large and varied assortment includes many types, sizes and colors. As a result of long-term relationships with leading suppliers, you do not only benefit from the best quality, but also of competitive purchasing conditions.
Cable tie materials: from plastic to stainless steel
Plastic or Nylon is the most used material for cable ties. Depending on your application, you can order a plastic cable tie in various material qualities.
Polyamide 6.6 and Polyamide 6.6 heat resistant
Plastic zip ties in polyamide 6.6 (also called PA 66 or Nylon 66) offer you a high entry-level quality. PA 6.6 is characterized by a favourable product lifetime, heat resistance, electrical properties and price. If your application requires an improved flame retardance, then flame retardant PA 6.6 zip ties (also called heat resistant cable ties) are available for you. If you need a better heat resistance, then it is possible, within polyamide 6.6, to upgrade from an +85 degrees Celsius to an +120 degrees Celsius operating temperature.
Polyamide 4.6 heat resistant
Polyamide 4.6 (also called PA 46 or Nylon 46) is suitable for applications that require continuous exposure to extreme temperatures. Therefore, this material quality has a higher heat resistance than PA 6.6 (up to +150 degrees Celsius).
Polyamide 12
Choose polyamide 12 (also called PA 12 or Nylon 12) if you are looking for cable ties that must be UV resistant (for example for outdoor applications) and/or have a higher chemical resistance than PA 6.6. PA 12 cable ties are relatively insensitive to changing environmental influences and remain flexible in cold and dry conditions. These cable ties do have, however, a lower tensile strength than PA 6.6.
Polypropylene
When you are looking for cable ties that need to be resistant to chemicals and/or can float on liquids, then choose polypropylene. Polypropylene offers a higher chemical resistance than PA 12. These cable ties are resistant to many acids, bases, solvents and bacteria.
Polyamide 6.6 and Polypropylene with metal pigments
WKK also supplies plastic cable ties with metal pigments. This special zip tie is suitable for industries where product contamination must be prevented. With this you can think of companies active in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Plastic zip ties with metal pigments are available in the material qualities polyamide 6.6 and polypropylene.
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE, Tefzel®)
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (also called ETFE or Tefzel®) is suitable for applications involving chemicals (acids, bases and solvents), radiation and extremely high and low temperatures. These are the most advanced cable ties in WKK’s assortment.

Stainless steel cable ties
Do you need metal zip ties? WKK also sells stainless steel cable ties. These are suitable for extreme conditions. Stainless steel cable ties are often used in the offshore, shipbuilding and in power plants. We offer these zip ties in the stainless steel qualities: AISI 304 and AISI 316L. You also have the option of opting for a coating, if excellent protection of cables is required.
Why choose stainless steel cable ties?
Compared to plastic, you choose stainless steel if your application(s) demand higher durability, tensile strength and/or heat resistance. To make the right choice regarding the type of cable tie, please refer to the following flowchart.
