Raw Material
NYLON GRADE CABLE TIES
In Cable Ties, there are two types of raw material available in the market from which cable ties are made Nylon 6 & Nylon 66 grade as they both are made from synthetic polymers with the number describing the type & quantity of polymer chains in their chemical structure. All Nylon material, including 6 & 66, are semi-crystalline and carries good strength, durability for various Industrial Applications.
Our own brand Clamps-N-Clamps Cable Ties are made from high grade polymer Nylon 66 Grade material which have Good strength, High Quality, Higher Temperature rating with long terms performance for Indoor & Outdoor usage.
| Sr. | Nylon 6 | Nylon 66 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Less Crystalline | More Crystalline |
| 2 | Lower mold shrinkage | Higher with greater mold shrinkage |
| 3 | Lower melting point | Higher melting point |
| 4 | Lower heat deflection temperature | Higher heat deflection temperature |
| 5 | Higher water absorption rate | Lower water absorption rate |
| 6 | Poor chemical resistance to acids | Higher chemical resistance to acids |
NYLON PROPERTIES
As polyamide, Nylon 66, whilst having its own separate and distinct benefits, do share many of the same core properties
- High mechanical strength
- High stiffness, hardness and toughness.
- Good fatigue resistance.
- Better weathering properties, better sunlight resistance.
- High mechanical damping ability.
- Good sliding properties.
- Excellent abrasion resistance & a high melting point.
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Good resistance to high energy radiation.
- Good machinability.
