What are purple zip ties
purple zip ties, also known as purple cable ties, are mainly used for premium classification marking, brand visual management, and security anti-counterfeiting due to their striking and unique appearance.
By using color coding, they help quickly identify critical systems, elevate the exclusivity of brand events, or serve as quality-control seals that are hard to replace—perfectly distinguished from black tie wraps, white wire ties, or yellow zip ties used for general bundling and safety warnings.
1. Material Description
Nylon 6
Hygroscopicity: Easily absorbs moisture, which reduces tensile strength in high humidity.
Performance: Medium tensile strength, suitable for standard indoor use.
Flame rating: UL94 V-2.
Working temperature: –10 °C to 75 °C.
Recommended use: Home and office cable management.
Nylon 6.6 (PA66)
Hygroscopicity: Low moisture absorption, minimal structural impact.
Performance: High strength, ideal for heavy-duty or load-bearing scenarios.
Flame rating: UL94 V-2.
Working temperature: –20 °C to 85 °C.
Weather resistance: Strong UV and aging resistance, reliable outdoors long-term.
Recommended use: Outdoor projects, electrical installations, aerospace.
Polypropylene (PP)
Hygroscopicity: Non-absorptive, humidity has little effect on strength.
Performance: Lower strength but stable, mainly for lightweight bundling.
Flame rating: UL94 HB.
Working temperature: 0 °C to 85 °C.
Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils and acids/alkalis.
Recommended use: Chemical plants, production lines, corrosive environments.
2. Product Features
Sloped tooth design guides the locking tongue in one direction, engaging the teeth root for self-locking and preventing loosening.
purple zip ties are visually striking, often associated with mystery, creativity, luxury, and elegance.
They are particularly suitable for premium brand packaging, VIP event setups, and themed decorations.
3. Color Matching Process
For precise purple shades, mailing a physical sample is the most recommended option.
Alternatively, you may select the desired shade using the Pantone color chart.
Photo confirmation may cause slight color deviations.
Once the color is confirmed, we mix the corresponding purple masterbatch thoroughly into the raw material to ensure consistent coloring of the finished purple zip ties.
Application Scenarios
- Instrument calibration: Use numbered purple cable ties to seal adjustment ports, preventing unauthorized tampering.
- Electrical facilities: Seal meters and switch boxes with purple ties, clearly signaling “do not tamper.”
- Logistics: Using purple cable ties for sealing makes packages harder to replace or tamper with.
- Stage lighting: Under special lighting, purple ties are easier to locate than black or white ties.
- Outdoor gear: purple cable ties stand out in green environments, making them easy to find and reuse.
5. Specifications & Technical Data
The size of purple zip ties is defined by width, thickness, and length. Wider and thicker ties have greater tensile strength, while length determines bundle diameter. Below are sample specs for Nylon 66 purple zip ties:
| Type | Length (inch/mm) | Width (mm) | Max Bundle Dia. (mm) | Min Tensile Strength (lbs/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WD-4×400 | 16” / 400mm | 3.6 | 110 | 40 / 18 |
| WD-5×400 | 16” / 400mm | 4.8 | 105 | 50 / 22 |
| WD-8×400 | 16” / 400mm | 7.6 | 105 | 100 / 45 |
| WD-8×450 | 18” / 450mm | 7.6 | 118 | 100 / 45 |
| WD-10×400 | 16” / 400mm | 9 | 105 | 175 / 75 |
| WD-12×400 | 16” / 400mm | 12 | 105 | 230 / 100 |
