Kable Kontrol Metal Detectable Blue Zip Ties 14 in - Bulk 5,200 Pack

In this review the focus is on a high-volume zip tie pack aimed at facilities that need metal-detectable fasteners. The Kable Kontrol Metal Detectable Blue Zip Ties come in a bulk set of 5,200 pieces and the single biggest reason to consider them is their iron-infused nylon construction that makes them detectable by metal detection equipment, which directly supports contamination control in food and pharmaceutical environments. The review looks at strength, temperature range, compliance claims and practical use in industrial settings.

Key Features

• Metal detectable construction: Iron-infused Nylon 6-6 allows detection by metal detectors, helping reduce the risk of product contamination in controlled facilities.
• Bulk quantity: The pack contains 52 x 100 pcs, totaling 5,200 ties, which minimizes reordering and is cost-effective for high-volume operations.
• Reliable tensile strength: Rated to 50 lb tensile strength, these ties handle common bundling and cable management tasks in industrial and packaging environments.
• Wide operating temperature: Usable from -40F to 185F (-40C to 85C), making them suitable for many indoor environments with temperature variation.
• Regulatory compliance: Material complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.1500 (b), REACH, ROHS, and PAHS, supporting use where regulatory conformity matters.
• High visibility color: The blue color improves visual inspection and helps identify metal-detectable parts during routine checks.

Who It's For

The pack is aimed at maintenance teams, food processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and quality control managers who need a large supply of metal-detectable cable ties for contamination control and routine installations. Facilities that run metal detection systems as part of their HACCP or food safety programs will find the iron-infused ties particularly useful.

It is less suitable for small home workshops or occasional users who will not need thousands of ties, and outdoor applications that expose ties to long-term UV or extreme weather may require a different specification designed for prolonged outdoor use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Metal-detectable design reduces contamination risk in regulated environments.
• Large 5,200-piece bulk pack lowers per-unit cost and reduces ordering frequency.
• Compliance with FDA 21 CFR 177.1500 (b), REACH, ROHS, and PAHS supports use in sensitive industries.
• Good operating temperature range suitable for most indoor industrial uses.

Cons

• Bulk quantity may be excessive for occasional users or small shops.
• Product is specified as ideal for indoor usage; not optimized for long-term outdoor exposure or heavy UV environments.

Our Verdict

For anyone running food or pharmaceutical operations that use metal detection, these 14 in metal-detectable ties are a practical, cost-effective choice because they combine regulatory compliance, a useful temperature range and a large bulk quantity that supports continuous operations. Facilities that need fewer ties or outdoor-rated UV resistance should consider alternatives, but for indoor contamination control this pack represents strong value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these ties detectable by metal detectors?
Yes. The ties are iron-infused Nylon 6-6 and designed to be detected by metal detection equipment used in processing lines.

Is the material safe for food contact?
The material lists compliance with FDA 21 CFR 177.1500 (b) and other regulations, making it suitable in many food-industry applications that require compliant components.

Can these ties be used outdoors?
They are specified as ideal for indoor usage and an operating range to 185F; for long-term outdoor or high-UV exposure, choose a product specified for outdoor use.
