Nylon waterproof glands are currently widely used in the market, and there are many companies that produce and sell nylon waterproof joints. However, most of them are basically micro-enterprises mainly based on workshops, and their product quality is also uneven. Due to the lack of molds, many small workshops can only produce one or two waterproof threads, which are not competitive in the market. This kind of processing workshop is basically a special supply manufacturer, which is a supporting production workshop specializing in processing and producing waterproof joints for a certain lighting factory.
