Hello Fellow Builders, I have been watching this discussion of the various
methods of wire wrap and the pluses and minuses of using nylon ty-wraps with
some interest. Technology may offer a superior solution, but it doesn't seem
to have gotten much notice yet in our community. Here is a blurb from
Machine Design magazine:
"Cable ties of a polyarletherketone called Victrex
<<http://www.victrex.com/>> PEEK bundle wire and cables securely despite
long exposures to high temperatures and pressures of
oil drilling, aerospace, and military uses. Wires and cables running the
length of an aircraft fuselage or wrapped around an electric pump motor, for
example, must be bundled so they don't touch a potential heat source. Nylon
cable ties often work well in these applications. But they can melt in more
extreme applications such as oil drilling, perhaps interfering with the
pumping apparatus.
According to Richard Moore, spokesman for cable-tie maker Click Bond Inc.,
Carson City, Nev. (www.clickbond.com), drilling applications can see
temperatures of 392F. Victrex PEEK withstands temperatures to 500F and
resists chemicals, electricity, and radiation. Low-moisture absorption and
outgassing properties makes the polymer well suited for aerospace
applications - low-moisture absorption ensures dimensional stability. And
because the PEEK is halogen-free, it emits little smoke and toxic gas during
combustion. Additionally, the inherently lubricious material won't abrade
the plastic coating on the wires as is often the case with its nylon
counterpart."
I am willing to buy some PEEK cable ties from Clickbond, but haven't quite
figured out how to do so. Their marketing and distribution system is a bit
obscure to me. Any suggestions?

Excellent source of information.
Tony C.
While I haven't learned enough to contribute to others very
often, I have learned enough to avoid some mistakes in
building my kit.
CL M.
AeroElectric list is the best!
Dennis J.
[The List] is invaluable.
Benjamin S.
I think of the Kolb List as the daily "Kolb Magazine" of
what's going on.
Bill T.
Great service.

Between the archives, the folks that have already done it,
and the rest of us currently building - I think every tidbit
of knowledge is available to get/keep us in the air.
