Overview

Panduit PLT1M-C186 Metal Detectable Cable Ties are engineered for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications where contamination prevention is critical. These cable ties feature a metal-impregnated polypropylene construction that is detectable by standard metal detection equipment, ensuring compliance with stringent manufacturing standards. The distinct dark blue color provides immediate visual identification during inspections, reducing the risk of foreign object contamination in production environments. Measuring 3.9 inches (99mm) in length with a miniature cross-section (0.098" / 2.5mm width), these ties are ideal for bundling cables and securing components in tight spaces. Each package contains 100 units, providing a reliable supply for high-volume applications. The polypropylene material offers excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for use in processing and packaging areas where aggressive acid and alkaline cleaning chemicals are used. Designed for one-piece installation, these cable ties feature among the lowest threading force in the industry, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. The metal detectable material meets industry requirements for traceability and safety, preventing accidental inclusion in packaged products. Typical applications include conveyor systems, processing equipment, and packaging lines where cleanliness and compliance are non-negotiable. Compatible with standard installation tools including GTS-E, GS2B-E, and STS2 series tools. The PLT1M-C186 is part of Panduit's metal detectable cable tie family, which also includes nylon 6.6 options for general purpose applications and larger polypropylene variants for heavier-duty requirements.
