Virtually all brittleness problems occur in this type of weather or where cable ties have been stored in an uncontrolled condition. A moisture content of 2.5% allows for flexibility and easy bending of the straps. When moisture in the product is below 1%, they can become brittle. The pawl (l ck) inside the head of the straps must flex (“see-saw”) over the teeth of the strap. When the humidity is below 40%, mostly in winter months, the pawl may not flex and can be forced to pop out upon insertion of the strap into the head. The strap of the tie may also become brittle and crack under these conditions.  NOW AVAILABLE! 230 Travail Rd, Markham, Ontario, Canada L3S 3J1 Tel: 800.268.5612 US: 800.628.0809 www.grote.com RoHS 62275-TYPE 2, 21 & 21S DID YOU KNOW?
