[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 98335, member: 52"] Re: Zip Ties Water makes the nylon more flexible but weaker. Too much humidity at the time of manufacturing can weaken the nylon permanently. Running polymers too hot also makes them more brittle, the adage "you get what you pay for" applies- cheap cable ties plastic may have been overheated and run into a very cold mold to save time. The more parts made, the more $$ per hour, but the parts are weaker. Some cable ties have been made so fast they can't be pulled tight without breaking, while properly made they can be quite difficult to break. [/QUOTE]
