Ty-Rap

In 1958, Maurus Logan invented and patented the Ty-Rap® cable tie to simplify complex wiring in aircraft. That single idea transformed how industries manage and secure cables—becoming the global standard for fastening solutions.

Today, over 30 billion Ty-Rap cable ties have been installed worldwide.

From aerospace and automotive to energy, food processing, and marine industries, Ty-Rap cable ties are trusted wherever safety, reliability, and performance matter most.

Beyond a Cable Tie – The Grip of Steel® Difference

Unlike plastic cable ties, Ty-Rap cable ties feature the exclusive Grip of Steal® — a 316 stainless-steel locking barb embedded deep into the head. This ensures maximum holding strength, vibration resistance, and long-term reliability.

Whether it’s securing engine components in a Formula 1 car, withstanding harsh chemicals in a refinery, or enduring sub-zero temperatures in offshore wind farms, Ty-Rap stands the test of time, environment, and mission-critical performance.

A complete range for every industry

With over 25 types of Ty-Rap cable ties, ABB offers a comprehensive portfolio tailored for diverse industries:

• Aerospace, Automotive & railway: Lightweight, high-performance materials, vibration-resistant designs.
• Oil, Gas & Energy: UV-resistant, chemical-resistant, flame-retardant solutions for harsh environments.
• Marine & Shipbuilding: Corrosion-resistant materials for saltwater exposure.
• Solar & Renewables: UV stability and long-term outdoor performance.

Supporting accessories like Ty-Rap installation tools improve safety, speed, and precision on the job.

Proven. Even on Mars.

Did you know? NASA’s Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in 2021, uses Ty-Rap cable ties made from high-performance fluoropolymers. Just like Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity before it—proof that when failure is not an option, Ty-Rap delivers.

Why Ty-Rap? Superior engineering, Trusted everywhere.

Often imitated but never equaled, Ty-Rap cable ties provide superior performance in any application.

• Grip of Steel® Locking Mechanism: Delivers secure, adjustable tension that won’t slip — resists vibrations and shock better than plastic ties.
• Notchless Body Design: Reduces stress points, extending product life while improving bundle grip.
• Low-Profile Rounded Head: Minimizes snags and easily passes through tight spaces.
• Break-Resistant Strap: Smooth, rounded edges prevent weakening at critical bend points.
• User-Friendly Tail: Textured, turned-up tail for quick pick up and precise handling — even with gloves.
• Built for Extremes: Operates in temperatures from -60°C to +230°C, resists UV, corrosion, chemicals, and fire — depending on material.
• Compliant and Certified: Meets global standards including UL, RoHS, CE, LR, ABS and more — depending on the cable ties.
