Keen to find a cable tie that your inspection equipment will pick up without fail? Choose these detectable cable ties from Thomas & Betts. They're made with a patented compound that devices like X-ray machines and metal detectors can spot in a flash. This makes them especially handy in hygiene-sensitive industries where they help slash the risk of product contamination. Thanks to their tensile strength of 220N, you can rest assured the fasteners are a safe bet for handling heavy bundles between 3.5 and 102mm in diameter. The rugged stainless steel pawl means they lock very strongly and, as they're non-releasing, they won't come undone if someone tries to tamper with them.

• Bright blue colour makes them easy to spot by eye, too
• Halogen-free construction means they won't give off toxic smoke in a fire
• Come in a pack of 100, so you get plenty for lots of tasks

• Chemical processing
• Pharmaceutical production
• Cleanrooms

Thanks to their broad operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C, you can safely use these cable ties in demanding settings, from cold storage to heavy engineering.
