Do you know about the whitening phenomenon and use of nylon zip ties?
2024-06-21 3713The nylon zip ties we usually use, especially black nylon zip ties, often show signs of mold and whitening inside.
Why do nylon zip ties mold or have white spots, and how can we prevent these phenomena from occurring?
The so-called white spots appearing inside the packaging bag of nylon cable ties and on the body and head of the ties can be caused by two sources: one is the decomposition of additives inside the ties when they absorb water, and the other is the formation of hard solidification in water. This is very noticeable on black nylon zip ties, while it is generally not visible on the body of white nylon zip ties, mainly because white spots on Baise nylon zip ties are not prominent and difficult to detect, rather than absent.
The solution to the white spot phenomenon in nylon zip ties lies in the manufacturing process. During the process of making zip ties, the "steaming cabinet wet steaming" method is used. After the production is completed, it can be soaked, washed, and shaken dry to basically avoid the appearance of white spots. However, manufacturers consider that wet steaming is inconvenient and costly for small-sized nylon zip ties, so natural water absorption is generally still used. However, using natural water absorption methods can still avoid the occurrence of white spots. It is important to strictly control the water absorption ratio during the natural water absorption process, especially adjusting it according to factors such as temperature and humidity in the surrounding environment, which requires the rich experience of manufacturers or engineers. If well controlled, this phenomenon can basically be avoided. Otherwise, once the natural water absorption ratio is exceeded, it will cause excessive humidity inside the packaging bag, resulting in white spots or what is commonly referred to as "mold" phenomenon within a month. The so-called moldy phenomenon of nylon cable ties does not actually affect the effectiveness of nylon cable tie products, and even in terms of service life, it basically has little impact. After discovering this phenomenon, everyone can continue to use it with peace of mind.
Nylon cable ties, also known as zip ties, plastic zip ties, zip ties, or cable ties, are simple plastic ropes with fixed buckles and teeth that play a powerful role in various industries.
