Antimicrobial Metal Detectable Zip Ties

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience or have purchased Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ antimicrobial detectable cable ties. It is described as:

Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ antimicrobial detectable cable ties are molded from an FDA-compliant, silver-free, proprietary nylon resin blend to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms, such as various bacteria, fungus and mold, on their surface. Cable ties molded from ABB’s proprietary blend have been verified more than 99% effective in prohibiting common surface microbes from forming on the cable tie in independent laboratory tests in accordance with ISO22196.

Has anyone used these or foresee any issues during an audit? We are looking to use these to tie scan gun holsters to some MHEs.

Thanks!

MHE?

I'm assuming you're only using these to run cables along machine exteriors?

Our auditor didn't like our original set up as they weren't as clean as he would have preferred-but said nothing about the cable ties themselves

Are you planning on replacing them every so often?

Our plan is to replace the ties every few months or so. We want to attach a holster to our pallet trucks so employees can have a place to store their scanners.

 

If you are sure they are strong enough and plan to replace them regularly to ensure cleanliness in hard to reach places around those zip ties, I don't see a problem with this approach.

We have leather holsters attached to a metal plate that are bolted to pallet moving equipment---never ever have to replace them
