General
Colour	Blue Metalise Mde

The cable tie 380/47 SL MDE-C blue metallised from Ses-Sterling is a fastening element specifically developed for demanding industrial applications. It belongs to the SES-QUICK SL MDE product series and is characterised by integrated detectability, achieved through metal particles in the material. This feature makes the cable tie particularly suitable for applications where product contamination by foreign objects must be avoided, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The cable ties comply with the requirements of HACCP guidelines, which apply to hygiene and safety in food processing. The material is halogen-free and meets the requirements of the RoHS directive, which prohibits the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Detectability is the central advantage of this cable tie. The metal particles in the plastic material enable reliable detection by metal or X-ray detectors, which is crucial in production processes with high hygiene requirements. This prevents lost or broken cable ties from unintentionally entering the production chain and thus compromising product quality. The blue metallised Mde colour supports visual differentiation in use, with the metallic appearance indicating the special composition.

Applications include primarily food processing, the pharmaceutical industry, and other sectors where product contamination-free conditions are critical. The cable ties are suitable for securing cables, conduits, pipes, or other components in production plants, where secure and verifiable fastening is required. Use in environments with strict hygiene regulations is supported by RoHS compliance and halogen-free composition.

Functions and features in detail include a robust construction ensuring secure fastening. The cable ties are suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial electrical and automation technology. The special material composition ensures sufficient strength and durability under industrial conditions. The packaging unit contains 100 pieces, suitable for use in series production or larger assembly tasks.

Technology explained simply shows that detectability is achieved by embedding metal particles in the plastic. These particles are small enough not to affect the mechanical properties of the cable tie, yet large enough to be detected by standard detection systems. The halogen-free formulation reduces the formation of toxic fumes at high temperatures, which is particularly important in fire hazard situations. RoHS compliance ensures suitability for use in products marketed in the EU and other regions with corresponding environmental regulations.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use in existing production environments that employ metal or X-ray detection systems. The cable ties are not specifically designed for any particular brand or model series of detectors, but meet general requirements for detectable materials. There are no specific accessories that must be combined with this item; use is direct in the production process.

Installation and mounting proceed as with standard cable ties. Fastening is achieved by inserting the cable tie into the head opening, with the locking tongue securing the closure. Installation requires no special tools, although careful handling is recommended to preserve material integrity. The cable ties are designed for single use and should not be reused after installation.

Operational advantages lie in increased safety and quality assurance. Detectability reduces the risk of product contamination, which is particularly important in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The halogen-free composition and RoHS compliance support adherence to environmental and safety regulations. The robust construction ensures reliable fastening under industrial conditions.
