Zip Tie Comparison Test: Before & After UV Exposure

[Dibbons]

Ties got stronger after a year in the sun?

Interesting? I'd think that the some of the plasticizers would be gone after a year making it somewhat dry rotted and pop sooner.

Those rated UV resistant held up well, as well as the stainless steel, of course.

sorry I didn't watch the video

"Roadkill Garage" has each episode, a "Zip-Tie Moment"
"Roadkill" reg show has a few too, make fun of the use of zip-ties
they comment all the time how the black is/are way better
last way longer

black zip-ties by far last longer
whites zip-ties are seriously susceptible to ultraviolet light deterioration
even in my own experiences

trucking industry Cab & chassis sales etc.,
or for that matter, for areal equipment, digger derricks
or whatever
won't use the whites zip-ties anywhere on the chassis
or didn't use to, for a really long time

I tied the upper and lower parts of my large dog transporter/dog house with white zip ties (don't know what happened to the original rivets or whatever). Every so often I find another one on the ground, and these are the wide ones which I assumed were super strong.
