I know that the black cable ties are supposed to be more UV resistant than the white ones. My question is, "By how much"? I want to use a bunch of white ones outdoors for aesthetic reasons, but I do...
Before retiring from the phone company, we always used white ties inside or inside of splice cases. Outside, anywhere, we used Thomas & Betts black ties that at that time were made in the USA. Every once in a while we may run out of the blacks and use white along side of the blacks. Can't give figures but deterioration of the whites wasn't long. This was in Penna. Also, lately, have seen some Thomas & Betts that were Chinese made.
