Ty-Rap TyGenic Antimicrobial Detectable Cable Ties

A breakthrough fastening solution 
ABB Installation Products engineered the Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ antimicrobial detectable cable ties in response to customers’ needs in food and beverage processing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and other contamination-sensitive industries.
 

Key benefits

As the industry’s first antimicrobial and detectable two-piece cable tie, ABB’s Ty-Rap TyGenic is molded from an FDA-compliant proprietary nylon resin or polypropylene blend that contains both an EPA registered antimicrobial additive and detectable particles. This antimicrobial additive is effective against a broad spectrum of micro-organisms, including various bacteria, viruses, protozoans and fungi, such as mold and mildew.

• 99% effective – Prohibits common surface microbes from forming on the cable tie (tested by an independent laboratory)
• Detectable – Easily identifiable deep blue color with x-ray, metal and visual detectability 
• Trusted – Offers performance advantages of ABB’s Ty-Rap cable ties
• Grip of steel – Securely locks with corrosion-resistant marine-grade stainless steel barb 
• UV Resistant – Designed to operate in temperatures up to 85 °C (185 °F)
• Color – Dark Blue
• UL listed and RoHS compliant – Made from an FDA and EU food contact-approved, halogen-free nylon 6.6 (polyamide) resin blend

Technical data  

ABB’s Ty-Rap TyGenic antimicrobial detectable cable ties provide no antimicrobial inhibitory activity beyond the protection of the cable ties themselves. They do not provide protection against specific pathogenic organisms, nor do they prevent the growth of bacteria on adjacent or nearby surfaces. The antimicrobial efficacy of the material is designed to last for the life of the cable tie under normal use conditions.
