All WKK plastic cable ties are made from high-quality plastic (polyamide 6.6, polyamide 4.6, polyamide 12, polypropylene, ETFE, or polyethylene) or stainless steel in material grades AISI 304 or AISI 316L. The plastic cable ties feature a plastic locking barb. This distinguishes them from Ty-Rap® cable ties, which have a stainless steel locking barb.

Ty-Rap® is a brand name of ABB, formerly Thomas & Betts. In the Netherlands, the brand name has become a generic term — people often refer to all cable ties as "tyraps."We offer seven types of Ty-Rap® cable ties:

• Ty-Rap® - Plastic cable ties - Stainless steel lock - For universal use
• Ty-Rap® - Plastic cable ties - Stainless steel lock - Workbench box
• Ty-Rap® - Plastic cable ties - Stainless steel lock - Resistant to chemicals, radiation and extreme temperatures (up to 150 °C) - Tefzel®
• Ty-Rap® - Plastic cable ties - Stainless steel lock - Resistant to chemicals - Floats on liquids - UV-resistant – Polypropylene
• Ty-Rap® - Plastic cable ties with metal pigments - Stainless steel lock - Detectable - Polyamide 6.6
• Ty-Rap® - Plastic cable ties with metal pigments - Stainless steel lock - Detectable - Polypropylene
• Ty-Rap® - Plastic cable ties - Stainless steel lock - UV-resistant - Extra chemically resistant

All Ty-Rap® cable ties are made from plastic. They differ from WKK cable ties in one key aspect: the locking barb. In Ty-Rap® cable ties, the locking barb — located in the head of the tie — is made of stainless steel. In WKK cable ties, it is made of plastic.

Ty-Fast®, like Ty-Rap®, is a brand from ABB. We offer one type of Ty-Fast® cable tie:

• Ty-Fast® - Plastic cable ties - For universal use

The only difference between Ty-Fast® general-purpose cable ties and Ty-Rap® general-purpose cable ties is the locking barb: Ty-Fast® cable ties feature a plastic locking barb (like WKK cable ties), while Ty-Rap® cable ties feature a stainless steel locking barb.
