3M 06201 Weather-Resistant Intermediate Cable Tie, 6-Inch, Black, 100-Count

[Music] standard cable ties are manufactured using nylon 6-6 raw material which is hygroscopic hygroscopic refers to a substance ability to absorb moisture from the air and humid conditions and release it in dry conditions in surroundings that are above 40 percent relative humidity nylon 6-6 will absorb moisture in surroundings that are below 40 percent relative humidity nylon 6-6 will release moisture this means the cable tie is made from nylon 6-6 will absorb and release moisture as the atmosphere changes moisture is important because it gives nylon cable ties their flexibility and prevents them from becoming brittle and cracking our cable ties are manufactured with the moisture level of around 2% this allows for sufficient flexibility and bending of the straps but maintains proper tension strength at 8% moisture the tie would be extremely flexible but would be below normal tensile st
