Nylon 612 UV-resistant

• UV-Resistant nylon 612 offers a 20-year guaranteed service life
• Panduit Nylon 612 high strength cable ties are resistant to chemical corrosion, solar radiation, and acid rain
• Designed for harsh external applications, and guaranteed operating temperature range -60oC to 90oC

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, 11.11.2022 – Panduit has launched a range of harsh environment and UV-resistant cable ties, the PLT4S-M6120, manufactured in resilient nylon 612 with a guaranteed 20-year life cycle. Panduit’s PLT4S-M6120 cable ties are resistant to chemical corrosion, even salts, hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, bases, or corrosive substances such as zinc chloride or diluted acids, making them ideal for harsh outdoor applications. The robust material properties of nylon 612 also ensure continuous stable hold in position for cable or pipe work across the ambient temperature range of -60oC to 90oC guaranteeing a wide application including high wind and high vibration surfaces.

Limited availability of nylon 12 on the world market and the 15% cost advantage of nylon 612 over nylon 12 makes Panduit’s new cable tie attractive for numerous applications in industry and renewable energy systems.

The Panduit fasteners are ideal for cable management on galvanized surfaces and frames, for example, in the growing market for photovoltaic systems. Available in black nylon, the cable ties have a one-piece design with a locking wedge and a curved, tapered tip requiring less insertion force.  The PLT4S-M6120 is easy to install increasing reliability and raising overall productivity.
