The 8701B is ideal for industrial use, due to the fact that it holds strong against vibrations and temperature changes. Its insulating properties means it won't conduct electricity. It stands up to corrosion when exposed to basic solvents and alkalies, as well as diluted acid, oil or grease. The UV protected material means the cable tie won't become damaged due to sun exposure, so it works well in outdoor applications. When both ends are looped together and connected, it keeps your cables in a permanent bundle. The tie can be pulled to the point of tightness and it is self-locking so the wire or cable bundle won't come undone. The type 6/6 nylon is a material known for its durability and strength. Carbon is introduced to the black nylon to make it UV resistant.
