PVC Or Plastic Coated Steel Wire
PVC or plastic coated steel wire is coated with a layer of polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene on the surface of the annealed wire, galvanized wire, stainless steel wire and other materials. The coating layer is firmly fitted to the metal wire to form the features of anti-aging, anti-corrosion, anti-cracking, long life and other characteristics. Galvanized and plastic coated wire is used in manufacturing of binding wire, tie wire, plant support wire, meshes and fences. PVC is the most popular plastic for coating wires, as it is relatively low in cost, resilient, fire retardant and possesses good insulating properties.
►Specification
