These cable-tie compounds are metal-detectable
This company recently launched pre-colored, metal-detectable Vydyne PA66 compounds for cable ties and fasteners for industries where foreign-object contamination causes health concerns and reputational damage, such as in pharmaceutical and food-processing facilities. The new product meets the most stringent performance standards and simplifies the supply chain for cable tie and fastener producers. The new metal-detectable Vydyne reduces the need for additional tolling or masterbatch steps and ensures the material performs as intended. The company ensures the consistent dispersion of the metal additive within the polymer matrix, so that even small metal particles are clearly visible and identified with standard detection equipment. — Ascend Performance Materials Operations LLC, Houston
