What are nylon cable ties?
Nylon cable ties, as a common and indispensable tool, have penetrated into every aspect of our lives. In the fast-paced modern society, we may rarely pay attention to this small but powerful tool. However, it plays an irreplaceable role in many situations. The emergence of nylon cable ties not only brings convenience, but also solves many practical problems and becomes an indispensable assistant in all walks of life.
Define Nylon Cable Ties
The main component of nylon cable ties is nylon，a synthetic fiber，Its chemical name is polyamide。
Nylon was the first commercially successful synthetic thermoplastic polymer. DuPont began its research program in 1927. The first nylon, Nylon 66, was synthesized on February 28, 1935 by Wallace Hume Carothers at the DuPont Research Facility at the DuPont Experiment Station.
The chemical structure of this synthetic material also makes nylon cable ties have excellent high and low temperature resistance, allowing it to still function under extreme environmental conditions. The chemical properties of nylon also make it less susceptible to chemical attack, increasing its suitability in different fields. Therefore, the material composition of nylon cable ties not only gives it strong and durable properties, but also makes it ideal for a variety of practical applications.
Characteristics Of Nylon Cable Ties
Nylon has an excellent balance of properties, combining strength, medium stiffness, high service temperatures and high toughness. Nylon cable ties have unique advantages in specific areas, including resistance to repeated impact, low coefficient of friction and excellent abrasion resistance. Additionally, nylon is highly resistant to fuels, lubricants, and most chemicals. In order to maintain the performance level of nylon products, it is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and keep it sealed in the original packaging material. These measures will increase the performance level of the tie indefinitely.
General Nylon
General purpose nylon is suitable for most practical applications and can be used in continuous temperatures up to 185°F. Nylon 6/6, the most commonly used grade in cable tie production, meets the UL 94V-2 flammability rating and has an operating temperature range of -40°F to 185°F.
Thermal Stable Nylon 6/6
Thermal stabilized nylon 6/6 is suitable for continuous or prolonged exposure to high temperature environments (up to 257°F). While general-purpose nylon can suffer from reduced physical properties and fatigue at high temperatures, nylon ties with specially formulated heat stabilizers can provide additional heat resistance. Thermal stable nylon is designed for electrical applications with continuous exposure to temperatures above 185°F and meets UL standards.
UV Stable Nylon 6/6
UV stabilized nylon 6/6 is suitable for continuous or prolonged exposure in outdoor environments. It has a weather-resistant rating to withstand additional ultraviolet (UV) light. This stability is achieved by adding stabilizers to the nylon resin. UV stabilized nylon ties available in black only.
Nylon 12
Nylon 12’s molecular design is specifically engineered for solar applications and can withstand strong sunlight and the corrosive elements of the outdoors. Its low water absorption, density stability, chemical resistance and insensitivity to stress cracking make it an ideal choice.
