HellermannTyton self-adhesive cable tie mounts are manufactured using different acrylic-based and synthetic rubber adhesives. These allow us to meet your expectations for applications within different operating temperature ranges and expected pull-off forces.
Synthetic rubber has an excellent initial tack, allowing for almost immediate use. Acrylate adhesives generally have less initial tack, but generate a higher permanent pull-off force after they have completely bonded – usually after a number of hours.
| Adhesive | Adhesive operating temperature | |
|---|---|---|
| Synthetic rubber with base of polyehtylene foam | Synthetic rubber T50 | -20°C to +50°C |
| Synthetic rubber T60 | -40°C to +60°C | |
| Acrylate with base of polyurethane foam | Acrylate | to +150°C |
| Acrylate with base of polyehtylene foam | Acrylate | to +150°C |
| Acrylate with base of acrylic foam | mod. Acrylate T90 | -40°C to +90°C |
1. The surface must be dry, free from dust, oil, oxides, parting agents and other impurities. The surface to be glued should be cleaned using a clean cloth and isopropanol/water (50/50). When using other appropriate cleaning agents, ensure that they do not attack the surface nor leave any residues. After cleaning allow the surface to air-dry completely.
2. Peel off protective backing and ensure the adhesive area is not touched.
3. Press down firmly on the base with the thumbs for several seconds.
4. Depending on the type of adhesive, wait for several minutes (synthetic rubber) or hours (acrylate) so that the adhesive can bond completely with the surface.
1. Shear resistance. Shear force pulls the adhesive surfaces in opposite directions along a parallel line.
2. Tensile strength. Tension force pulls surfaces apart perpendicular to the adhesive bond.
3. Cleavage resistance. Cleavage can occur where forces acting on bonded surfaces are not evenly spread but concentrated along a single line.
4. Peel adhesion. Peeling force acts on a small amount of adhesive at the edge of the tape and weakens the adhesive bond. At least one adherend is flexible.
Additionally to the self-adhesive cable tie mounts HellermannTyton offers a wide range of other cable tie mounts like:
Inserting and securing cable ties in self-adhesive cable tie mounts is a relatively straightforward process, and it typically doesn't require any special tools or expertise.

Self-adhesive cable tie mounts can generally be removed, but the ease of removal without damaging the surface or leaving residue depends on several factors, including the type of mount, the adhesive used, and the surface material. The self-adhesive clips featuring an integrated open clip can remain fixed in place, allowing for the easy removal or subsequent integration of cables as needed.
Self-adhesive cable tie mounts are generally not designed to be reusable after removal. While it may be possible to remove them without damaging the mount itself, the adhesive on the back of the mount is typically not intended for multiple uses.
Choosing the right self-adhesive cable tie mount for your application involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your specific needs.
Before using self-adhesive cable tie mounts and clips, consider surface cleanliness, weight capacity, environmental conditions, cable layout, adhesive quality, removal options, installation instructions, quantity, and safety standards. Ensure surfaces are clean, check adhesive strength, plan cable layout, and consider environmental factors. Follow manufacturer instructions, prioritize safety, and verify user feedback. Select mounts that match load-bearing needs and environment, ensuring proper cable organization.
