The 8702B is ideal for industrial applications, since it will not come loose due to vibrations or temperature changes. Its insulating properties make the cable tie safe to handle because it won't conduct electricity. The material stands up to corrosion and damage when exposed to basic solvents and alkalies, as well as diluted acid, oil or grease. The UV protection makes the cable tie perfect for outdoor use, as it won't become damaged due to sun exposure. When both ends are looped together and connected, it keeps your cables in a bundle that won't be undone. The tie can be pulled until the bundle is tightly secured and it is self-locking so the wire or cable bundle won't come loose. 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.
