Ty-Rap TyGenic Antimicrobial Detectable Cable Ties

Resistant to the growth of microbes and detectable by x-ray, visual and metal detection systems.

In response to the needs of customers in food and beverage processing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and other contamination-sensitive industries, ABB introduces the industry’s first two-piece cable tie that is both antimicrobial and detectable.

The Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ antimicrobial detectable cable tie is molded from an FDA-compliant proprietary nylon resin blend that contains both an EPA-registered antimicrobial additive and detectable particles. The antimicrobial additive is effective against a broad spectrum of micro-organisms, including various bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi, such as mold and mildew.

Contamination can be costly, resulting in downtime, waste, loss of customer trust or serious health impact.
