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...
They could have said something like "Useful life is doubled when UV protection is added", instead of all the maybes. The NEMA article describes the test involved without giving any conclusions or results. I am looking at less than fifty ties, so I will go with white. If they fail in a year, I will replace with something better. If they last 3-4 years, they will be someone else's project.
