Nylon coated wires have excellent insulation, wear resistance and heat resistance, and are widely used in electronic equipment, automotive industry, home appliances, mechanical equipment and other fields. However, nylon coated wires also have some limitations, mainly including the following aspects:

1. Poor light resistance: Nylon materials are easily affected by ultraviolet rays, oxygen and other external factors and fade, fade and age. In an environment exposed to sunlight for a long time, the appearance and performance of nylon coated wires may be affected, causing the wires to age, discolor, and may even reduce insulation performance.

2. Flammability: Nylon materials are flammable and produce toxic gases after burning. This has certain limitations for applications with high safety requirements. Although the fire resistance of nylon materials can be improved by adding flame retardants, it will increase costs and processing difficulties.

3. Easy hydrolysis: Nylon materials are prone to hydrolysis reactions in the presence of moisture, causing the material to decompose. This chemical reaction reduces the strength and durability of nylon, so nylon coated wires are not suitable for long-term use in humid environments.

4. Sensitivity to ultraviolet rays: Nylon materials are sensitive to ultraviolet rays and will degrade over time when exposed to sunlight. This may cause the wire to become brittle, lose strength, and may even cause safety hazards.

5. Limited temperature resistance: Nylon materials may deform or lose strength at high temperatures, so nylon coated wires are not suitable for applications that need to withstand high temperatures. Although nylon wires have certain heat resistance, their temperature resistance range is relatively limited.

6. Dimensional instability: Nylon materials are prone to creep, resulting in dimensional instability. This may affect the installation and use of wires, especially in applications where precise size control is required.

7. Static electricity problem: Nylon materials are prone to static electricity and dust absorption when rubbed against other materials. This may limit the application of wires, especially in situations where static electricity accumulation needs to be avoided. Although this problem can be solved by adding conductive materials, it will increase costs and processing difficulties.

In summary, although nylon coated wires have many excellent properties, they also have some limitations. When selecting and using nylon coated wires, it is necessary to fully consider their application environment and conditions to ensure the safety, reliability and long-term stable operation of the wires.
