High-performance cable ties — the world's original, since 1958
Invented by Thomas & Betts in 1958 to bundle cables in aircraft, Ty-Rap® cable ties have been trusted for over 65 years and nearly 30 billion installations worldwide. Often imitated but never equalled — Ty-Rap's Grip of Steel® locking barb, smooth notchless body, and engineered material range deliver superior performance from factory floors to Formula E racetracks, deep-sea rigs, and the surface of Mars.
Used on NASA's Perseverance Mars rover — trusted in space since 1973

TOP FEATURES
Grip of Steel®
Non-hygroscopic stainless steel locking barb ensures maximum holding strength and an extended useful life in all conditions.
Notchless body
Smooth, ribbed, stippled strap reduces stress points and prevents slipping — especially effective in vibrating applications.
Extreme temperature
Rated from −40°C to +150°C continuous in air — ETFE variants withstand 2,000× more radiation than standard nylon.
Antimicrobial & detectable
TyGenic™ — the industry's first two-piece cable tie that is both >99% antimicrobial and detectable by X-ray, metal, and visual systems.
UV & weatherable
Black carbon-black UV-resistant versions and polypropylene chemical-weatherable variants for outdoor and corrosive environments.
Snag-free install
Low-profile oval head and upturned no-slip tail make pulling bundled cables through bulkheads faster and easier.
SOLUTIONS BY INDUSTRY
Industrial & OEM
Heat-stabilised, chemical-resistant, and stainless steel ties for securing cables on machinery, panels, and industrial equipment in demanding factory environments.
Rail & transport
EN 45545-2 and NFF 16-101 certified flame-retardant, UV-resistant ties for rail vehicles — trusted by BERNMOBIL and transit authorities across Europe.
Food & beverage
Detectable (X-ray & metal detector) and TyGenic antimicrobial ties — FDA and EU food contact approved, HACCP compliant, available in buoyant polypropylene.
Automotive & motorsport
Trusted by the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team and Dakar Rally competitors — heat and vibration resistant ties for wiring harnesses in extreme racing conditions.
Energy & renewables
UV-stabilised and weatherable ties for solar farms, wind generators, and offshore drilling rigs — engineered to resist continuous outdoor exposure and salt corrosion.
Pharmaceutical & healthcare
TyGenic antimicrobial detectable ties inhibit bacteria, viruses, mould, and fungi — ideal for cleanrooms, lab equipment, and hygiene-critical facilities.
Nuclear & aerospace
ETFE radiation-resistant, non-outgassing ties for nuclear power plants and space applications — on NASA rovers since 1973, including the Mars Perseverance mission.
Construction & buildings
Natural and coloured PA 6.6 ties for cable management in commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, data centres, and general electrical installations.
PRODUCT RANGE
Natural — Polyamide 6.6
Standard general-purpose cable ties in multiple lengths, 6 widths, tensile strength up to 780N. Available in 10 colours including pre-printed options.
UV-Resistant (black)
2% carbon black formulation for continuous outdoor UV exposure — also available in heat-stabilised + UV-resistant combination for harsh environments.
Flame Retardant
Low flammability and low smoke ties for public transport, tunnels, mass transit, and other life-safety applications. Tested to EN 45545-2 and NFF 16-101.
Heat Stabilised & Extra High Temp
Heat-stabilised for up to 105°C. Extra high temperature version rated −40°C to +150°C for industrial, OEM, and commercial construction applications.
Chemical & Weatherable (PP)
Polypropylene version resistant to inorganic acids, polyhydric alcohols, and neutral/basic salts — ideal for chemical processing environments.
TyGenic™ Antimicrobial Detectable
Industry-first two-piece tie — >99% effective against microorganisms, detectable by X-ray/metal/visual systems. FDA & EU food-contact approved, halogen-free.
Detectable Cable Ties
Bright blue, patent-pending detectable compound for X-ray, metal detector, and visual inspection. Available in PA 6.6 and buoyant polypropylene for liquid processing.
Railway Certified (RW)
Specially developed UV-resistant, flame-retardant ties tested to EN 45545-2 and NFF 16-101 for modern rail vehicle wiring applications.
ECTFE (Low Smoke)
Outstanding low smoke density when burned — for plenum areas, tunnels, and enclosed spaces where smoke generation is a critical concern.
ETFE (Radiation-Resistant)
Non-outgassing, chemically resistant, radiation-proof ties for nuclear and space applications — used on NASA Mars rovers since 1973.
Ty-Met™ Stainless Steel
Ultimate heavy-duty solution for extreme conditions and hazardous areas — corrosion-proof, indoor and outdoor, for industrial and offshore installations.
