Manufacturing Wire
Zinc/aluminium coated manufacturing wire is generally produced to meet the property specifications set out in the tables below. However, manufacturing wire can be produced with a range of coating thicknesses and with any combination of low, medium, or high tensile strengths. The zinc/aluminium coatings are manufactured to AS/NZS4534:2006 Zinc and Zinc/Aluminium-Alloy coatings on Steel Wire.
