Plastic Cable Ties
Plastic cable ties (also known as nylon cable ties, wire ties, or zip ties) are essential fastening solutions manufactured from high-quality UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6 material. These versatile polyamide cable ties feature a unique self-locking ratcheting system that allows quick and secure bundling of cables, hoses, pipes, and components without requiring tools. Widely used across electrical, automotive, construction, telecommunications, and manufacturing industries throughout the UK, nylon 6/6 cable ties provide exceptional strength, reliability, and flame resistance for both professional and domestic applications.
The primary benefit of plastic cable ties lies in their tool-free installation and permanent securing capability. Once tightened, the ratcheting head locks into place, providing a strong hold that can only be removed by cutting. Operating effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, these nylon wire ties offer excellent chemical resistance, UV stability (in black variants), and compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations, making them suitable for harsh environmental conditions and safety-critical applications.
Available Materials & Style Options:
- UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6 construction for superior flame resistance
- Natural (clear/white) nylon cable ties for indoor applications
- Black UV-stabilised cable ties for outdoor use (halogen-free)
- Multiple length options from 80mm to 1220mm
- Various width specifications to accommodate different bundling requirements
- Curved tip design for easier threading and faster installation
- Supplied in convenient packs of 100 pieces
Key Features & Benefits:
- Self-locking ratcheting mechanism eliminates the need for installation tools
- UL94V-2 flammability rating meets health and safety requirements for construction projects
- Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C ensures reliable performance
- Excellent tensile strength and durability for long-lasting cable management
- Chemical and abrasion resistance suitable for industrial environments

For installations where you need to secure the bundle and fix it directly to a panel or chassis, our Push Mount Cable Ties are a practical upgrade. These ties combine a standard self-locking cable tie with an integrated mounting clip that pushes into a pre-drilled hole, creating a fast, tool-free fixing point without additional bases or adhesive pads. They are especially useful for automotive looms, electrical enclosures, control panels, appliances and machinery where clean routing, vibration resistance and consistent cable separation are required to reduce snagging and wear.
