Material Selection for Salt Spray Resistance
Panduit cable ties were subjected to salt spray testing for 2,000 hours at 95°F (35°C).
Both materials showed no signs of corrosion. The 316 Stainless Steel had trace surface
staining and is recommended for mission critical applications. The 304 Stainless Steel
had moderate surface staining and is recommended for general applications.

Material Selection for Weather Exposure
Panduit cable ties were exposed to weather for prolonged lengths of time outside
our manufacturing facility in Illinois, USA, without loss of performance or signs of
corrosion. Loop tensile strength increased from year one to year four and remained
stable over time.

On the job injuries due to laceration caused by a sharp edge or poor cut-off have several
associated costs. The Occupational Health and Safety Organization (OSHA) reports that
dollars spent on direct injuries are a fraction of the total costs of a lost time incident, other
costs incudes:
•Productive time lost by an injured employee and impacted supervisors
•Cost of continuing all or part of the employee’s wages
•Increased workers’ compensation insurance rates
•Time to hire or to retrain other individuals to replace the injured worker
•Time and cost for repair or replacement of any damaged equipment or materials
•Clean up and start up of operations interrupted by the accident
The costs associated with these factors can approach $10,000 per laceration.

Variables such as chemical concentration, temperature, stress and ultra-violet light have
differing effects on stainless steel. Each of these factors contributes to the useful life of
a cable tie or tag.
Cable tie selection depends on the resiliency of the object in your application. MLT ties
are ideally suited for resilient Cable Bundling Applications. MRT application ties,
MRS ties and strapping are recommended for non-resilient Mechanical
Fastening Applications.
