UV Resistant Cable Ties & Zip Ties
We manufacture UV resistant cable ties and zip ties from UV-stabilized Nylon 66 with carbon black, made to stay strong in direct sun, rain and cold. Choose from standard, heavy duty and double head ties, UV tie wraps for wire bundling, and stainless steel for the harshest sites.
Distributors, solar installers and contractors buy from us factory-direct, with custom printing and private label packaging on request. Minimum order value is US$5,000.
Our UV Resistant Range
Every nylon tie in this range is made from UV-stabilized PA66 in black. Pick the strength and style you need, or check the full size chart below.
Black UV Cable Ties
Standard · 4.8 mm · 50 lbs
Our everyday UV resistant cable ties for outdoor wiring, fencing and solar runs. Lengths from 100 to 500 mm, all in UV-stabilized black Nylon 66.
Heavy Duty UV Resistant Zip Ties
7.6–12.4 mm · 130 to 250 lbs
Wide, high-strength UV zip ties for heavy bundles, structural fixing and large outdoor cable runs. Up to 1,530 mm long for pipes and poles.
UV Resistant Tie Wraps & Wire Ties
Miniature & intermediate · 18–40 lbs
Slim UV tie wraps for light wire bundles, low-voltage cables, lighting and electronics outdoors. Easy to handle in tight spaces and bulk packs.
Double Head UV Zip Ties
Two locking heads · black UV
Double head UV zip ties that fasten two bundles with one tie, or fix a cable run to a post or frame. Fewer ties per job and a neater finish outdoors.
PVC-Coated Stainless Steel Ties
Stainless core · black coating
Stainless steel cable ties with a black PVC coating. The steel carries the load, while the coating protects cable jackets from sharp edges.
Stainless Steel Cable Ties
SS304 / SS316 · ball lock
When nylon is not enough: salt spray, extreme heat or a very long service life. SS316 is the choice for marine and coastal installations.
UV Resistant Tie Wraps & Wire Ties
Tie wraps and wire ties are the same product as cable ties and zip ties, just in slimmer sizes for lighter bundles. Our UV resistant tie wraps are made from the same UV-stabilized black PA66, so small wires on solar arrays, outdoor lighting and garden systems get the same sun protection as heavy cable runs.
- Miniature UV tie wraps: 2.5 mm (0.10″) wide, 18 lbs, 4″ to 15″ long, for low-voltage and signal wires
- Intermediate UV wire ties: 3.6 mm (0.14″) wide, 40 lbs, 5″ to 14″ long, for general wire bundles
- Rated -40°C to +85°C, packed in 100 or 1,000 pcs bags

Outdoor Cable Ties & Zip Ties for Sun, Rain and Cold
Outdoor cable ties fail for one main reason: sunlight. UV rays break down the polymer chains in ordinary nylon, so the tie turns brittle, cracks and snaps, often within a year or two. Our outdoor zip ties are built to slow that down, so a bundle you fix today stays fixed for years.
Rain and humidity do not weaken them, and they keep working from -40°C in winter to +85°C on a hot roof. For salt spray, fire-risk areas or temperatures above +85°C, choose our stainless steel cable ties instead. Want the full picture on outdoor lifespan? Read our guide to the best UV resistant zip ties for outdoor use.
What Makes a UV Zip Tie Last Outdoors
Nylon 66 (PA66)
Higher strength and heat resistance than Nylon 6, so the tie keeps its grip as temperatures swing.
Carbon black
About 2% carbon black (the industry standard) absorbs UV light before it reaches the polymer. This is why UV cable ties are black.
UV stabilizers
UV stabilized cable ties also use light stabilizers that slow down the chain breakdown that causes cracking.
Tensile headroom
Choose a tie rated well above the real load. Every outdoor tie loses some strength over the years.
Correct installation
Do not over-tighten, and cut the tail flush. Nicks and sharp edges are where cracks start.
UV Rated vs Standard Zip Ties
Standard zip ties
1–2 years in direct sun
- Natural or colored nylon
- No UV protection
- Turns brittle and snaps outdoors
UV rated zip ties
Typically 5–10 years
- Black UV-stabilized Nylon 66
- Carbon black + stabilizers
- Life depends on sun, climate and load
Stainless steel ties
Not affected by UV
- SS304 / SS316
- Salt spray, heat, fire-risk areas
- The longest-life option

Where Our UV Cable Ties Are Used
Our UV cable ties are used wherever cables and pipes sit in the open all year round.
Solar & Renewable Energy
Fix PV cables to racking and rails on rooftops and solar farms, where panels mean full sun exposure all day.
Marine & Coastal
Docks, boats and coastal structures. Use black UV nylon above the waterline and stainless steel in constant salt spray.
Construction & Utilities
Temporary and permanent cable runs on sites, street lighting, telecom and utility poles.
Garden, Fencing & Agriculture
Fencing, trellises, irrigation lines and greenhouse frames that stay outdoors every season.
Wholesale, OEM & Private Label

Made and Tested in Our Own Factory Since 1997
We mould our cable ties in-house from 100% Nylon 66 raw material, then test them during production for tensile strength, insertion force and moisture. For UV ties, the carbon black and stabilizers go into the compound before moulding, so the protection runs through the whole tie, not just the surface.

UV Resistant Zip Ties FAQs
Quick answers on outdoor life, colors, materials and ordering.
How long do UV resistant zip ties last outside?
Typically 5 to 10 years, depending on sun intensity, climate and load. Standard nylon ties often turn brittle within 1 to 2 years in direct sun. Our outdoor zip tie guide explains what shortens or extends that life.
Are black zip ties UV resistant?
Black ties get their UV protection from carbon black, but not every black tie is UV-stabilized. Ask for UV-stabilized Nylon 66, like all the nylon ties on this page.
Are white zip ties UV resistant?
No. Our white and natural ties are not declared UV resistant. For anything in direct sun, choose black UV ties. White zip ties are best for indoor use.
What is the difference between UV rated and UV resistant zip ties?
In the market they mean the same thing: a tie made to resist sunlight. What matters is the material (Nylon 66), the carbon black and the stabilizers, not the label.
Are tie wraps, wire ties, cable ties and zip ties the same?
Yes. They are different names for the same product. We use “tie wraps” and “wire ties” for our slimmer UV sizes (18 to 40 lbs) for light wire bundles.
Do UV resistant cable ties work in cold weather?
Yes. They are rated down to -40°C. Nylon gets stiffer in the cold, so install them carefully in freezing conditions and do not over-tighten.
Can UV resistant cable ties handle heat?
They are rated up to +85°C. For higher temperatures, or near fire risks, use stainless steel cable ties.
When should I use stainless steel instead of UV nylon?
For constant salt spray, temperatures above +85°C, fire-safety areas, or when you need the longest possible life. SS316 is the marine grade.
What is your minimum order?
Our minimum order value is US$5,000. The quantity depends on the sizes you choose.
Can you print our logo or text on UV cable ties?
Yes, custom printing is available. Talk to our team about your artwork, tie size and quantity.
Do you offer free samples?
Yes. Contact us with the sizes you want to test.
