Highlighting The Uses Of Zip Tie

Zip ties are designed to hold bundles of cables together or to fix a cable or a bunch of cables to something so as to avoid the tangling of cables and keep the path clear. The common zip tie, normally made of nylon, has a flexible tape section with teeth that engage with a pawl in the head to form a ratchet so that as the free end of the tape section is pulled the cable tie tightens and does its job.

In order to increase the resistance to UV light in outdoor applications, nylon containing a minimum of 2% carbon black is used to protect the polymer chains and keep the zip ties.

Zip tie or cable tie was invented by Thomas & Betts, an electrical company, in the year 1958 under the brand name Ty-Rap. At first, zip ties were designed for the purpose of airplane wire harnessing. The original design used a metal tooth. Later, the manufacturers changed the design to nylon/plastic.
