Types of green cable ties
Three of our types of cable ties are available in green:
Properties of green cable ties
The properties of our green cable ties vary by type. These specific properties are outlined below for each type.
WKK plastic cable ties – For universal use
The regular green WKK plastic cable ties are made of polyamide 6.6. They are resistant to temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C and are suitable for most everyday applications. They are halogen and silicone-free. Finally, they meet flammability class UL 94 V-2.
WKK polypropylene cable ties
Green WKK polypropylene cable ties are, as the name suggests, made of polypropylene. This material is resistant to chemicals and also floats. As a result, this type of cable tie is widely used in the chemical industry. They have a temperature range from -20°C to +75°C. They meet flammability class UL 94 HB and are halogen and silicone-free.
Ty-Rap® plastic cable ties
Green cable ties from the brand Ty-Rap® are made of polyamide 6.6, just like regular WKK cable ties. They are resistant to a slightly wider temperature range, from -60°C to +85°C. They are halogen and silicone-free and also meet flammability class UL 94 V-2. Unlike WKK cable ties, which have a plastic locking tongue, Ty-Rap® cable ties have a stainless steel locking tongue.
Brands of green cable ties
In our range, we offer green cable ties from two brands: our own brand WKK and Ty-Rap®. Ty-Rap® is a brand of ABB and was the first cable tie on the market.
The main difference between WKK and Ty-Rap® cable ties is the material used for the locking tongue in the head of the cable ties. In WKK cable ties, this locking tongue is made of plastic. In Ty-Rap® cable ties, it is made of stainless steel.
