PEEK ties – ideal cable ties for the chemical industry The reliability of cable management solutions is particularly important in the chemical industry, where conditions can be extreme. Cable ties in the PEEK Series can be used in temperature ranges between -55 and +240 °C, and are resistant to acids and radiation. PEEK Ties are lightweight, yet able to hold forces up to 230 N even though the band is only 4.5mm wide.
Important for the chemical industry:
- Application range of PEEK Ties: -55 to +240 °C
- PEEK Ties are resistant to acids and radiation
- Despite a band width of only 4.5 mm, PEEK Ties withstand forces up to 230 N
- Weight saving compared to metal solutions – no compromises

Produced from renewable castor oil sources, the Robusto Series of cable ties is also suitable for extreme weather conditions. It is resistant to chemicals, UV radiation and chlorides and is particularly suitable for use on galvanized steel.
Important for the chemical industry:
- Very good chemical resistance, including chlorides
- Properties are not compromised, even at low temperatures
- Extremely low water absorption ensures constant technical properties and durability
Further information on the Robusto Series can be found here.
The EL-TY Series made of chemically-resistant polyacetale (POM) consists of an endless band with spacers and irremovable heads. These sturdy cable ties can be applied in any desired length to bind leads and thick cables, or to securely fasten identification mark carriers.
Important for the chemical industry:
- Made of chemically-resistant POM
- System consists of: endless band, spacers, and irremovable heads
- Extremely secure fastening
- Virtually waste-free

Time is an important factor in the chemical industry, with many products forming the basis of value-add chains in other industries.
That is why HellermannTyton developed the revolutionary cable tie: the Q-tie. The open head design of the Q-tie allows for quick and simple installation even under the most challenging circumstances, like working with gloves or in restricted spaces. A unique pre-locking function makes temporary fixing possible. An officially adjudicated test by DEKRA confirmed that installing with Q-ties is 25 percent faster than with conventional cable ties.
Q-ties not only help save time, they also contribute to lower production costs. What is more, Q-tag marker plates allow for easy identification and Q-mounts allow secure application of the Q-ties across many scenarios.
Important for the chemical industry:
- Faster to process with more than 25 percent time savings
- Easy installation, even under difficult conditions
- Pre-locking function allows for easy pre-bundling
- Marker plates and mounting bases complete the system

Metal product solutions – for when push comes to shove
HellermannTyton also offers comprehensive fixing solutions made of metal for the chemical industry. For example, the MBT Series, with its irremovable stainless steel ball lock head for applications involving extreme loads and/or very high temperatures.
Important for the chemical industry:
- MBT Cable Ties made of SS304 and SS316 stainless steel (similar to V2A/V4A)
- Patented, irremovable single, or double ball-lock head
- Outstanding chemical resistance
- Resistant to high temperatures
- Non-flammable

Transparent TK20 polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) Heatshrink Tubing allows for low friction movement. The high-quality raw material stands up well to high temperatures and various chemicals. The semi-rigid, self-extinguishing tubing is also perfect as splinter protection for glassware.
Important for the chemical industry:
- Thin-walled and robust
- Self-extinguishing
- High operating temperatures
- Very good mechanical strength
- Good chemical resistance
Further information on TK20 Heatshrink Tubing can be found here.
Resistance to aggressive chemicals and heat are key requirements for applications in the chemical industry – especially where highly sensitive heat sensors or pH measuring devices have to run smoothly in corrosive media. HellermannTyton’s TFE2/TFE4 polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) Heatshrink Tubing is extremely thin and highly resilient to abrasion, chemical influences and extreme temperatures. Available in 2:1 and 4:1 shrink ratios, the product is perfectly suited for protecting such sensors and pH measuring devices in the chemical industry.
Important for the chemical industry:
- Extremely thin-walled and robust
- Operating temperatures up to +260 °C
- Very good mechanical strength
- Very good chemical resistance
Provide your measuring devices with reliable protection. Further information on TFE2/TFE4 Heatshrink Tubing can be found here.
M-BOSS – reliable identification for the chemical industry
The compact and quiet M-BOSS Compact Stainless Steel Embossing System is very user-friendly and can be used to emboss compatible M-BOSS Compact Marker Tags in less than a minute.
