1/4" ULTRA-LOK® Tie Product Change Announcement
May 04.2021
Due to rapid changes in the steel market, 201 stainless steel ULTRA-LOK® ties (1/4″ width bands) will transition to 304 stainless steel beginning June 4th, 2021. There are no dimensional changes to these products, only an upgrade in alloy. In addition, our internal test shows no change in loop tensile performance with the new material. Currently this change only applies to 1/4″ width ULTRA-LOK commonly used for cable bundling applications.
New 1/4″ ULTRA-LOK 304SS part numbers effective June 4th, 2021:
