Much more recently I've experienced white/clear cable ties failing before black ones. They were used to strap a cable to the side of a mast. The white/clear are so brittle they've started to fall off. The black ones still seem fine.]]> Grey vs black above ground drainage pipes https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10634&Focus=175504#Comment_175504 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10634&Focus=175504#Comment_175504 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:00:48 +0100 joe90 Grey vs black above ground drainage pipes https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10634&Focus=175508#Comment_175508 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10634&Focus=175508#Comment_175508 Mon, 06 May 2013 16:29:42 +0100 Henry Sears Posted By: joe90If I remember correctly from my time in BT, cables not buried were black and the black additive was to resist UV degradation.

Also blue MDPE water pipe has to be buried, but black's OK overground.]]> Grey vs black above ground drainage pipes https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10634&Focus=175518#Comment_175518 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10634&Focus=175518#Comment_175518 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:53:54 +0100 willie.macleod
