Why are nylon cable ties so easy to break in winter?

Since I started my business, there have been more complaints from customers in winter almost every year, and the quality of the problem is fatal. The function of nylon cable ties is nothing more than to bind things. If nylon cable ties are easy to be brittle, then If you fold it with your hand, it will break, and there is no function of bundling things. But since our company adopted the improved process last year, complaints about the brittleness of nylon cable ties in winter have dropped, so why is this happening?



Let's analyze the reasons together. Because nylon material is an engineering plastic, it has many advantages such as acid and alkali resistance, impact resistance, fire resistance, pressure resistance, etc., and nylon material is used in many fields. However, nylon material also has its shortcomings, that is, water absorption. When we open a bag of nylon material, whether you use it or not, it will quickly absorb a little water from the air, so that it can achieve excellent performance. performance. However, in winter, because the air is very dry, the humidity in the empty space is very low, and the nylon tie cannot absorb the water it needs from it, it will become extremely brittle, as long as you fold it by hand, The nylon tie will break.
How do we usually ensure that the nylon cable ties are not brittle when they are used in winter? And what method should we take to remedy it when it breaks? Let me tell you about some of the usage methods of our company. For the first question, what our company adopts is that in winter, we will put several heating machines in the warehouse to supplement the temperature in the air, so that the warehouse can always maintain A certain humidity, so that the nylon cable ties will not dehydrate when they are in stock. If the above conditions are not met due to limited conditions, there is another method, which is a little more troublesome. This method is mainly used in some factories with small inventory, that is, in the first two to three days before the nylon cable ties are used, inject 5-10ML of pure water into the packaging bag of the nylon cable ties. Please remember that it must be pure water. , If it is tap water, there will be scale, and the nylon cable tie will turn yellow.



Second, what should we do if we find that the nylon cable ties are brittle and broken during use? If you don't have enough time to wait for two to three days, then you can use a boiling water bubble, pour out the nylon tie and put it in a bucket, then boil some hot boiling water and pour it in it, soak it for two or three hours. It is ready to use, if possible, it is best to use steam, which can be steamed for an hour.
In short, everything we do is for smooth production, and I hope everyone can use nylon cable ties as usual in winter.
