ANCOR 4″ & 6″ Nylon Cable Ties

Virgin nylon with heavy-duty locking mechanism. Insoluble in common solvents, alkalis, dilute mineral acids and most organic acids or petrochemicals. Black cable ties feature UV inhibitors for longer life. 

Tech Tip: Cable Ties and Moisture

To prevent brittleness and cracking, a certain amount of moisture is incorporated into the Nylon 6/6 material that makes cable ties. Over time, this added moisture can evaporate; especially in dry conditions with low relative humidity. The following steps will help cable ties retain their pliability and tensile strength:

• Cable ties should be stored in the manufacturer’s original packaging until ready for use
• Partial cable tie bags should be closed and sealed if at all possible; Several drops of water can be added to the bag to provide moisture
• Cable ties should not be stored in an unheated warehouse or similar location
• Cable ties inventory should be rotated frequently and used within one year of purchase

Wire Bundling Per ABYC Guidelines

ABYC (American Boat & Yacht Council) states: “Conductors shall be supported throughout their length or shall be secured at least every 18″ by one of the following methods:

• By means of non-metallic clamps to hold the conductors firmly in place. The material shall be resistant to oil, gasoline and water and shall not break or crack within a temperature range of -34°C (30°F) to 121°C (250°F).”

All of Ancor’s cable ties are resistant to oil, gasoline and water and are rated for use within the ABYC specified range.
