Can anyone name a brand and source?
OT as I'm using them for insulation over plumbing, but figured it might
have been a problem someone here had solved across before.

** Farnell (aka Element 14) have a range of UV safe ties.

I thought all the black ties were UV resistant, I could be wrong.

You could use stainless steel ties, although expensive in comparison and you
need the correct tool to do the job properly and neatly (also pricey of
course).

They are.

I have in the past used them outdoors, but after a few years they do
fail. This does not appear to be from UV though as they aren't brittle
or powdery (typical of UV damage), they just seem to cleanly break and
fall off.

The ones in question were the standard ones from WES. No data is
available.

As mentioned in other posts, checking out Farnell, RS, Haymans , and
getting ones specifically for outdoors (or whatever use you have in
mind) would be a good idea. Plumbing suppliers might have a specific
product for your exact purpose.

UV damage to white ties seems to be in the form of them going brittle
- usually going brown. You disturb them and they fall apart.

Easier and far cheaper just to use a strip of wire.
