Permanent Identification Selecting the Proper Cable Tie Material for Your Application By using the information on our material selection chart on pages B1.2 and B1.3 as a guide, the user will be better equipped to select the best cable tie and material suited to perform its intended function over a long period of time. For long life and dependable service, there are many factors to consider when selecting the proper cable tie for each application. Since it is impossible for Panduit to provide data on all the various combinations of conditions which may arise, it is suggested that this data be used as a guide. Sample cable ties should be tested under actual end-use conditions to determine the correct cable tie for the application. To select the optimum cable tie for a specific application, the chart on pages B1.2 and B1.3 can be used as a reference. First, determine the most critical design criteria and then read across the table to find which material is most suitable to meet this need. Next, review the other criteria by scanning in a vertical direction on the chart and then make your final selection.
