Effects of Temperature and Water on Nylon
Cable ties are manufactured with Nylon 6/6. Nylon 6/6 needs moisture to
be pliable. Problem is when the ties are kept in an environment less
than 32
0 F, the water in the nylon freezes. This
causes brittleness during installation.
Our
Cold Weather Ties, are made with a blend which does not require
moisture (does not freeze) and can be installed in below freezing
temperature. For a “Temperature Range” we guarantee installation down
to -40
0F. Keep in mind once the cable ties is
installed, it’s installed. It will not freeze off, shatter, crumble, or
deteriorate no matter how low the temperature goes.
