UNEX 2221DT Metal-Detectable Cable Tie, 101 x 2.5 mm, Azure Blue, 100-Pack

In food processing plants, a stray plastic fragment can halt a production line. The UNEX 2221DT cable tie is engineered with metal particles embedded in PA66, making it detectable by standard metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems. This azure blue tie measures 101 mm long and 2.5 mm wide, suited for bundling cables, hoses, and sensors in hygiene-critical environments. The self-locking head ensures a secure hold, while the smooth edges reduce the risk of snagging on gloves or equipment.

Why choose it

Unlike standard nylon ties, the 2221DT contains a metallic additive that triggers detection systems, preventing contamination in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical production. The blue color offers high visibility for visual checks, and the PA66 material resists oils, greases, and common cleaning agents. Its compact profile fits tight spaces, and the self-locking design installs quickly by hand or with a tensioning tool.

Ideal use cases

• Securing cables and sensors on food processing equipment
• Bundling pneumatic lines in pharmaceutical cleanrooms
• Organizing wiring in chemical plants where contamination is a risk
• Marking and grouping hoses in beverage filling lines
• General industrial use where metal detection is required

Good to know

Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight; UV resistance is limited, so avoid prolonged outdoor exposure. For best results, use a calibrated tensioning tool to achieve consistent tension without damaging the tie. Each bag contains 100 ties, reducing repurchase frequency in high-volume applications.
