Why Choose the Partex HFC380-VO Low Flammability Nylon Cable Ties?
The Partex HFC380-VO is a specialist low flammability nylon cable tie designed for secure cable bundling and wire management in electrical and industrial applications where flame-retardant material performance is important. Featuring a UL94 V-0 flammability classification and a specified temperature capability of up to 110 °C, these natural-coloured cable ties provide a practical fastening solution for installations with demanding material and temperature requirements.
Measuring 380 mm in length and 4.8 mm in width, the HFC380-VO offers extended fastening reach for larger cable bundles, wiring harnesses and electrical equipment assemblies. Its non-releasable, self-locking mechanism allows the strap to be tightened around compatible cables and retained within the locking head, helping maintain tidy and secure cable routing in control panels, machinery and electrical enclosures.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 natural low flammability cable ties, the Partex HFC380-VO is suitable for electrical engineers, control panel builders, industrial maintenance teams and equipment manufacturers. Combining UL94 V-0 material classification, temperature capability up to 110 °C and 380 mm × 4.8 mm dimensions, these cable ties are particularly useful where both organised wiring and specified flame-retardant material characteristics are required.

UL94 V-0 Low Flammability Performance for Electrical Cable Management
Selecting cable management accessories with appropriate flammability characteristics is an important consideration in electrical equipment design and manufacturing. The Partex HFC380-VO features a UL94 V-0 flammability classification, making it a suitable option for applications where this material classification is specified for cable fastening components.
UL94 V-0 is a recognised vertical burning classification for plastic materials tested under defined laboratory conditions. It indicates that the tested material meets specific requirements relating to flame extinguishing and flaming drips. This classification helps engineers and equipment manufacturers select materials according to relevant design requirements.
A UL94 V-0 classification does not mean that a cable tie is fireproof, nor does it establish a complete fire safety rating for the finished electrical installation. The suitability of the HFC380-VO should be assessed alongside the requirements of the equipment, applicable standards and the manufacturer's technical documentation.
Cable Fastening for Temperatures Up to 110 °C
The Partex HFC380-VO is specified for temperatures of up to 110 °C, providing an option for electrical and industrial applications where cable ties may encounter elevated operating temperatures. This characteristic can be useful in equipment enclosures, machinery and electrical assemblies where ambient temperatures exceed those found in ordinary indoor installations.
Its 380 mm nominal length offers extended fastening reach for larger wiring groups, while the 4.8 mm width provides a practical strap profile for organising compatible cable bundles. The integrated non-releasable locking mechanism helps retain the cable tie after tightening, supporting consistent cable routing and organised equipment assembly.
The specified 110 °C maximum temperature should not be interpreted as confirmation of unlimited continuous operation at that temperature. Actual suitability depends on exposure duration, mechanical loading, surrounding conditions and the manufacturer's full operating specifications. For critical applications, the relevant temperature and mechanical performance data should be verified before installation.
Practical Installation for Industrial Wiring and Equipment Assemblies
The Partex HFC380-VO offers a straightforward method of securing wiring harnesses and electrical cable bundles. To install, position the strap around the selected cables, feed it through the locking head and tighten to the appropriate level. Excess strap length can then be trimmed to produce a neat finish.
When securing electrical conductors, avoid excessive tightening that could damage insulation, compress sensitive cables or interfere with thermal movement. A compatible cable tie tensioning tool may help achieve more consistent results during repetitive assembly or installation work.
As a non-releasable cable tie, the HFC380-VO is intended to remain locked once installed. Removal normally requires cutting the strap and fitting a replacement. For applications involving prolonged sunlight, chemical exposure or other demanding environmental conditions, the manufacturer's additional material compatibility and environmental ratings should be checked.
