Toughened UV Resistant Nylon PA66 Compounds For Durable Outdoor Cable Ties

UV Resistant Nylon PA66 Compounds For Durable Outdoor Cable Ties

Product Description

UV Resistant Nylon PA66 compounds are specifically engineered for the production of durable cable ties that are exposed to outdoor environments. Unlike conventional nylon, these modified materials incorporate UV stabilizers that significantly delay polymer degradation caused by sunlight and heat. This ensures that the cable ties remain strong, flexible, and reliable, even after prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions.

Cable ties made from UV stabilized PA66 are widely applied in solar panel installations, automotive wiring harnesses, outdoor power equipment, and telecommunication systems, where long service life and consistent performance are critical. With excellent tensile strength and resistance to creep, they secure bundles tightly and safely without premature failure.

Properties Data Sheet

Notes: The general guidelines are only for reference. Exact settings have to follow the product and machine conditions.

Avoid contact with other materials, dust and debris in the injection processing.

Avoid long time stay in the barrel in the injection processing.

Precautions

• Ensure proper drying at 80–90°C for 3–4 hours before molding to avoid surface blemishes or brittleness.

• Avoid over-tightening during use, which could cause stress concentration and potential cracking.

• For highly corrosive environments, consider combining with flame-retardant or chemical-resistant grades.

• Store finished cable ties in a cool, dry place before installation to maintain optimum mechanical performance.

• Confirm compliance with UL94 V-2 or higher flame rating if applied in electrical components.

Features, Advantages & Properties

• Excellent UV Resistance: Stabilized against sunlight exposure, ensuring service life of 5–10 years outdoors.

• High Mechanical Strength: Maintains tensile strength and elongation after prolonged environmental stress.

• Weather Resistance: Performs reliably under rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations from -40°C to +120°C.

• Dimensional Stability: Low creep deformation, ensuring tight and secure cable bundling.

• Customization Options: Available in black (best UV performance), natural white, or other colors upon request.

• Versatile Size Range: Supports production of ties from 100mm small sizes up to 1200mm heavy-duty cable ties.

Working Principle & Applications

The addition of UV stabilizers and antioxidants in the nylon matrix absorbs and dissipates ultraviolet light energy, preventing chain scission and surface chalking of the polymer. This allows the cable ties to retain flexibility, tensile strength, and secure grip throughout their service life.

Applications include:

• Outdoor electrical wiring (solar photovoltaic systems, street lighting cables)

• Automotive harnesses exposed to engine compartments and exterior conditions

• Telecommunication cable management in outdoor poles and junction boxes

• Construction & infrastructure projects requiring long-lasting fastening solutions
