Contamination costs can add up, with direct recall costs averaging between $100 million and $30 million, plus lost sales, customer confidence, and more. ties can be unrecognizable in the product, and their notched design can be a home for germs. To help mitigate risks in environments sensitive to contamination such as food and beverage, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, ABB has expanded its Ty-Rap® cable tie range with the industry’s first two-component antimicrobial* Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ cable ties and detectable cable ties .
ABB’s Ty-Rap® cable ties securely hold everything from wires and equipment to hoses, wires and more. ABB’s Ty-Rap TyGenic antimicrobial detectable cable ties are tested to be over 99% effective in inhibiting microbial growth, helping to protect against a wide range of micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi such as mold and mildew. Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties are made from a halogen-free, FDA and EU approved nylon resin blend for food contact that complements cleaning protocols and prevents microorganisms from adhering to and breeding on their surface.
To further combat contamination, Ty-Rap TyGenic ties combine anti-microbial properties with detectable particles and a deep blue color for easy three-way identification with x-ray, metal and vision detection systems. ABB’s new Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties are made from UV-resistant material, designed for temperatures up to 85°C (185°F) and equipped with commercial and residential stainless steel Grip of Steel™ locking devices. Reliable fastening.
“No one wants to worry about the garbage in their products and the risk of costly contamination. Our Ty-Rap TyGenic ties combine anti-microbial technology with detectability and fastening to help customers create a cleaner and safer environment,” Matthias Heilmann, President, ABB Installation Products. Separation. “The expansion of our Ty-Rap product line allows us to continue to provide the right application and product solutions from manufacturing plants to other planets.”
Standard Ty-Rap cable ties were originally developed for tying down aircraft wiring and were patented in 1958. Since then, more than 30 billion Ty-Rap cable ties have been produced – enough to stretch them to the moon and back dozens of times. ABB’s installation products offer more than 250 Ty-Rap ties available in a variety of materials and proven in a wide range of temperatures and applications, from construction, manufacturing and transportation to the deepest oceans and deep space rovers.
The latest addition to ABB’s Ty-Rap product line, the patent pending Ty-Rap TyGenic cable tie with an antimicrobial detectable coating is available in four sizes to meet industry safety standards. Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties are manufactured at ABB’s Vega Baja plant in Puerto Rico and are available worldwide.
*Note. Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ Detectable Antimicrobial Cable Ties have no antimicrobial inhibitory activity other than to protect the cable ties themselves.
