ABB Introduces Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ Antimicrobial, Detectable Cable Ties in Canada

November 16, 2026

ABB is expanding availability of its Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ antimicrobial detectable cable ties to Canada. The industry’s first two-piece cable ties help reduce the risk of contamination in environments where cleanliness and detection are essential such as food and beverage processing, healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

ABB’s Ty-Rap® cable ties safely secure everything from electrical cords and equipment to hoses, wires and more. Tested to be over 99 percent effective at inhibiting microbial growth, ABB’s Ty-Rap TyGenic antimicrobial detectable cable ties help protect against a broad range of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi like mold and mildew. Molded from an FDA and EU food contact-approved, halogen-free nylon resin blend, Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties complement cleaning protocols and help resist microbes from adhering and replicating on its surface.

To further combat contamination, Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties combine antimicrobial properties with detectable particles and a deep blue color for easy three-way identification via x-ray, metal and visual detection systems. Designed for operating environments up to 85 °C (185 °F), ABB’s Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties have the Grip of Steel™ stainless steel locking device for proven fastening performance in commercial and household use.

“At ABB, we help protect lives by improving safety and reliability in production and healthcare settings. Our customers use Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties for greater peace of mind without compromising cleanliness, safety or performance of their operations,” said Leila Sedighi, Vice-President Product and Marketing, Canada, ABB Installation Products.

The Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ antimicrobial detectable cable ties are available in four sizes and meet required industry safety standards. They are now available to customers through ABB’s distribution network across Canada.
