What are Yellow Zip Ties？
Yellow zip ties are typically made from nylon 6 or nylon 66. Their core value: warning and caution.Beacse yellow lies in the middle of the spectrum, boasting high saturation and brightness. It’s visually vibrant and often compared to natural objects like sunlight and sunflowers. They are often used to provide a strong visual warning during construction or temporary wiring.
1.Material Description
Nylon 6 (Nylon 6)
Hygrosensitivity: Highly hygroscopic, humid environments may result in a decrease in tensile strength. Strength: Medium, commonly used for general indoor fastening. Flammability: UL94 V-2. Operating Temperature Range: –10°C to 75°C. Applications: Cable management in homes, appliances, and offices.
Nylon 6.6 (PA66)
Hygrosensitivity: Low; humidity does not significantly affect structural strength. Strength: High strength, suitable for demanding fastening applications. Flammability: UL94 V-2. Operating Temperature Range: –20°C to 85°C. UV/Aging Resistance: Excellent performance, suitable for long-term outdoor use. Applications: Outdoor construction, power generation, aviation, and extreme climates.
Polypropylene (PP)
Moisture Sensitivity: Non-hygroscopic, highly stable in humidity. Strength Grade: Lower than nylon but stable, suitable for lightweight applications. Flammability Rating: UL94 HB. Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 85°C. Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oil, acids, and alkalis. Applications: Chemical production, assembly lines, and corrosive environments. Price: Higher, but its excellent corrosion resistance makes it advantageous in specific applications. Applications: Industrial production lines, chemical environments, oily environments, and acidic and alkaline environments.
2.Product Features
The directional engagement of the beveled teeth on the strap body and the locking tongue triggers a mechanical lock, giving yellow tie wraps their “one-pull lock” engineering properties. Yellow, with its high brightness and saturation, makes its yellow zip ties stand out in a variety of environments. For example, they can be used for packaging medical waste, sealing garbage bags, and labeling. Their eye-catching color facilitates easy identification and management, and they are convenient to use and durable.
3.Color Matching Process
Ideally, you should mail a sample of your yellow zip ties so we can accurately compare the color. You can also select your target color using the Pantone Color Finder. If confirming your color using a photo, please note that color variations may occur. After confirming the color, we will add a yellow masterbatch in appropriate proportions to ensure even distribution and a uniform color throughout the yellow zip ties.
4.Application Scenarios
Medical Waste Disposal
Hospitals require convenient and visually appealing bundles for waste disposal. Self-locking yellow zip ties meet these requirements. They lock securely with a single pull, are disposable, and are difficult to remove, ensuring a secure, closed loop during transportation and disposal.
Data Center/Network Room
Single-mode fiber optic patch cables are typically yellow. Using yellow zip ties can match the color of the cables and easily distinguish fiber types and routing
Securing and Warning
On construction sites, yellow zip ties can be used to bundle cables, serve as temporary markers to alert passersby, or provide zoning management. They can also be used in conjunction with yellow warning signs and fixed in a conspicuous location to alert passersby to the risks.
5.Specifications and Technical Parameters
The dimensions of yellow zip ties are primarily composed of width, thickness, and length. Width and thickness are directly proportional to tensile strength, while length is directly related to the maximum bundle diameter. Below are some parameters for nylon 66 cable ties.
cable ties sizes
| Type | Length | Width(mm) | Max.Bundle Dia.(mm) | Min tensile strength | ||
| Inch | mm | lbs | Kgs | |||
| WD-4×250 | 10″ | 250 | 3.6 | 65 | 40 | 18 |
| WD-5×250 | 10″ | 250 | 4.8 | 65 | 50 | 22 |
| WD-8×250 | 10″ | 250 | 7.6 | 65 | 100 | 45 |
