General
Colour	Blue Metalise Mde

The cable tie 100/25 SL MDE-C blue metallised from Ses-Sterling is a securing element specifically developed for demanding industrial environments. It belongs to the SES-QUICK SL MDE product series and is primarily designed for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries as well as in the context of HACCP systems. The cable ties are embedded with metal particles, making them detectable, which enables safe identification in case of breakage or loss. This property is particularly important in environments where product contamination by foreign objects must be prevented. The cable tie features a blue metallised colour, allowing for visual differentiation from other securing elements.

Applications
The cable tie is particularly suitable for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in facilities implementing HACCP principles. In these areas, avoiding contamination is a top priority. The detectable feature of the cable tie enables effective control and assurance of product quality. Its use in production plants, packaging lines, or storage areas where metallic contamination is critical is therefore advisable.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable ties are embedded with metal particles that ensure continuous detectability. These particles allow detection of the cable tie by metal or X-ray detectors, which is crucial for product quality control. The blue metallised colour supports visual identification and can be used in production processes to mark specific areas or processes. The cable ties are halogen-free, enabling use in environments with high requirements for material safety and environmental compatibility.

Technology Explained Simply
The detectability is achieved by integrating metal particles into the plastic matrix of the cable tie. These particles are small and evenly distributed, so they do not impair the mechanical properties of the cable tie, yet are detectable by detection equipment. The halogen-free composition means that no toxic halogen compounds are released during combustion, which is particularly beneficial for disposal or in case of fire. The blue metallised colour is a visual feature without technical function, but it aids in better identification.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable tie is designed for use in existing securing systems that do not impose special requirements on material composition. It is not specifically designed for use with particular tools or accessories, but can be processed with standard cable tie pliers or cutters. Use in combination with other detectable components is possible, provided the respective application requirements are met.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is performed as with conventional cable ties: the cable tie is looped around the cable or pipe to be secured, pulled through the eyelet, and cut using a cable tie plier or cutting tool. Using a plier is recommended to ensure a clean and secure fastening. The cable ties are designed for easy handling and do not require special tools or mounting procedures.

Operational Advantages
The detectable feature of the cable tie provides a clear advantage in environments where product contamination by foreign objects must be avoided. The halogen-free composition increases safety during disposal and in case of fire. The blue metallised colour supports visual identification, which simplifies maintenance and inspection of installations. Use in the food and pharmaceutical industries as well as in HACCP systems is justified by the specific requirements for product quality and safety.

The packaging contains 100 pieces of the cable tie, enabling economical use in larger installations. The weight specification of 0.315 g per piece is technically relevant, as it influences the load capacity and mechanical properties of the cable tie. The total weight of the packaging is 0.032 kg, attributable to the mass of the 100 individual pieces and the packaging itself. Compliance with the RoHS directive ensures suitability for applications aiming to avoid certain hazardous substances.
