Cable Tie & Cable Management Products
Material Specifications
General Purpose Polyamide 6.6
General Purpose nylon 6/6 features light weight, high strength and a wide temperature range. Even at higher than recommended temperatures or exposure to flame, nylon does not give off toxic or irritating by-products. Nylon 6/6 is hygroscopic and therefore absorbs or releases moisture depending on its environment. Moisture levels of the material will affect tensile strength, stiffness, and elongation of the product.
UV Stabilized Polyamide 6.6
General purpose nylon 6/6 with increased resistance to ultraviolet light. Carbon black is one of the most effective stabilizers known today. A uniform dispersion of carbon black provides good ultraviolet light resistance without adversely affecting physical properties. The addition of carbon black or any other ultraviolet stabilizer prolongs the useful life of plastic products used outdoors, but it does not totally eliminate the destructive effects of the light.
