Because nylon material is an engineering plastic, it has many advantages such as acid and alkali resistance, impact resistance, fire resistance, pressure resistance and so on. Nylon materials are used in many fields. However, nylon material also has its shortcomings, that is, water absorption. When we open a bag of nylon raw materials, whether you use it or not, it will quickly absorb a little water from the air to make it reach excellent performance. But in winter, because the air is extremely dry, the humidity in the empty space is very low, and the nylon cable tie cannot absorb the moisture it needs from it, it will become abnormally brittle, as long as you fold it with your hand, The nylon cable tie will break.

How to ensure that the nylon cable ties are not brittle when they are used in winter? And what methods should we take to remedy them when they are brittle? A company with conditions suggests that humidifiers should be placed in the storage warehouse to keep the warehouse at a certain level. humidity. If the conditions do not permit, you can inject 5-10ML of pure water into the bag of the nylon tie two to three days before using the nylon tie. Please remember that it must be pure water. If it is tap water, there will be scale. Result, the nylon cable tie will turn yellow. In addition, the normal nylon cable tie is used under minus 20 degrees to 85 degrees. If it is located in an alpine region, cold-resistant products should be used. Cold-resistant nylon ties are added with raw materials that are more resistant to low temperatures and have better compatibility with nylon 66
