Yes, this cable tie is strong enough!
FibreStrap has been rigorously tested and validated according to the Type 2 test, which is the standard for plastic cable ties. It demonstrates a tensile strength of 110N in compliance with IEC 62275:5:2018, ensuring reliable performance across various applications.
For scenarios requiring higher strength, FibreStrap's flexibility allows for a simple solution: double-looping the cable tie to enhance its load-bearing capacity. This adaptability makes it a versatile and sustainable alternative to traditional plastic cable ties while maintaining exceptional durability.

Is FibreStrap more expensive than plastic cable ties?
The benefits of FibreStrap cable ties depend on your current purchasing practices. FibreStrap is a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic cable ties, offering significant environmental advantages while also delivering a range of unique features.
While the unit price may sometimes be higher, FibreStrap provides several cost-saving opportunities. For instance, due to the flexibility of the cord, it has the potential to replace two plastic cable ties with one FibreStrap in packaging applications - a solution successfully implemented by many of our customers.

Founders of the innovative cable ties
With their roots deep in the Scandinavian soil, the three founders of FibreStrap cable ties have the know-how and passion for paper infused in their every fibre.
A recyclable cable tie
FibreStrap has been validated as repulpable, allowing the cord material to be transformed into new paper. While recycling regulations vary by country, FibreStrap can generally be included in paper recycling streams provided that the fibre content exceeds 95%. This aligns with our commitment to sustainability and reducing waste through responsible recycling practices.
Cable tie performance in humid conditions
It's essential to keep FibreStrap dry until it is attached. If the cord becomes wet, it may swell, making it more challenging to secure. However, once attached, FibreStrap is not affected by humidity, ensuring reliable performance in various environments.
