About Cable Ties
History and Information
Cable ties were first invented in the USA in 1958. Made from nylon or polyamide 66, the design is incredibly simple, with teeth that buckle and fasten against the ratchet across the whole length of the strap, offering infinitesimal adjustment potential. It is also highly versatile: they can be used with a fastening gun, they can come in all the colours of the rainbow, and they can be manufactured in a range of materials and compounds.
Durability
Cable ties are also amazingly durable as they are resistant to many types of alkalis, oils, greases, fuels and detergents. You can buy special cable ties made from heat-resistant (or even flame-retardant) nylon, weather resistant nylon (which uses 2% added carbon) or stainless steel for flameproof applications. These days, it is commonly made with nylon teeth (as opposed to the rust-prone steel ones of old) and they are pretty much as strong as you want them to be, with a vast range of widths offering a similar range of strength. If you want long instead of strong, there's always a huge range of lengths to choose from, to get the right bundling diameter for you.
Application
Cable ties can be used for tamper-evident applications and can be made to military specification, manufactured with a releasable tooth (which means they can be reused), they can be used by the Police as handcuffs (although this practice is slowly dying out) and automotive cable ties can be made with PPAP documentation. Although they're generally used as a permanent fixture, it's easy enough to open a fastened cable tie with a small screw driver or a pair of pliers, to cut either the band or the ratchet.
