Strong-Ty® PVDF Cable Ties for Bioprocessing
Strong-Ty® PVDF cable ties are made from pure virgin Kynar® PVDF for demanding bioprocessing, pharmaceutical, laboratory and chemical-processing applications. PVDF provides excellent chemical resistance, temperature capability, UV resistance and long-term durability compared with standard nylon cable ties.
Qualification and Manufacturing Information
- Finished-tie ISO 10993-5:2009 cytotoxicity reports are available for NPC204N and NPC208N.
- USP Class VI documentation is available for the Kynar® PVDF resin. This is material-level support and is not a finished-tie USP Class VI certification.
- Strong-Ty® cable ties are injection molded and packaged in the USA in an ISO Class 9 cleanroom by our manufacturing partner, which operates an ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management system.
- Lot traceable with mold-cavity identification.
- NPC204N and NPC208N were evaluated after one reported 30-minute autoclave exposure at approximately 121 °C. This is not a repeated-cycle qualification and does not cover NPC204SN.
- Arkema documentation supports FDA 21 CFR 177.2510, RoHS and applicable REACH requirements at the Kynar® PVDF material level.
- UL 94 V-0 is a Kynar® PVDF material flammability property. Strong-Ty® finished cable ties are not represented as a separate UL-listed finished product.
Strong-Ty® PVDF cable ties are intended for external securement and organization around single-use bioprocess assemblies, including tubing bundles, bag assemblies, sensor leads and process equipment. They are not intended to function as a fluid-path fitting or process-tubing clamp. Customers must confirm suitability for their installation, sterilization cycle and service conditions.
Product Styles and Packaging
- Strong-Ty® 4″ Standard PVDF Cable Tie - NPC204N (102 mm long)
- Strong-Ty® 4″ Flex PVDF Cable Tie - NPC204SN (102 mm long)
- Strong-Ty® 8″ Standard PVDF Cable Tie - NPC208N (203 mm long)
The 4″ Standard and 8″ Standard share the same 4.5 mm width and 1.5 mm thickness. The 4″ Flex is narrower at 3.1 mm and thinner at 1.0 mm for greater flexibility. All three styles are made from pure virgin PVDF and supplied in a natural color.
- Order quantities: 100, 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000 ties, subject to availability.
- Bulk orders ship with up to 5,000 ties per box. A 10,000-tie order ships in two boxes.
Manufactured in the USA for Nile Polymers.
Strong-Ty® cable ties are manufactured from Kynar® PVDF for bioprocessing and cleanroom applications. Finished-tie ISO 10993-5:2009 reports are available for NPC204N and NPC208N. USP Class VI, FDA 21 CFR 177.2510, REACH, RoHS and UL 94 V-0 support applies at the Kynar® PVDF material level. The ISO 13485:2016 reference applies to the manufacturer's certified quality management system. Review the supporting documents and confirm suitability for your process.
