The 8700B is perfect for industrial use, due to the fact that it holds firm against vibrations, petrochemicals and temperature changes. Its insulating properties means it won't conduct electricity. It can also still work when exposed to basic solvents and alkalies, as well as diluted acid, oil or grease. The UV protection on the material means the cable tie won't become damaged due to sun exposure. When both ends are looped together and connected, it creates a permanent loop around your cables. The loop is adjustable to the point of tightness and it is self-locking so the bundle won't come undone. The type 6/6 nylon is a material known for its durability and strength. Carbon is added to the black nylon to make it UV resistant.
