FEATURES:
Material: Galvanized Iron (GI) or Galvanized Steel (Low-Carbon Steel coated with Zinc).
Gauge: 12 Gauge (often denoted as 12# or 12 SWG).
Diameter: Approximately 2.68 mm to 2.80 mm (a medium thickness).
Weight: 18.8 KG (for this specific coil/package).
Appearance: Shiny, smooth, and metallic (silver/gray) due to the galvanization, wound into a large coil.
Corrosion Resistance: The primary feature of galvanized wire. The zinc coating protects the iron/steel base from rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor and high-humidity environments.
Durability and Strength: It offers a good balance of tensile strength (typically 350–550 N/mm²) for load-bearing applications and flexibility for bending, tying, and shaping.
Versatility: Due to its strength and rust resistance, it has a wide range of applications.
Cost-Effective: It is generally more affordable than stainless steel while still providing significant rust protection.
Construction:
Binding Wire: Widely used for tying and securing rebar (reinforcing bars) in concrete structures (like RCC).
General fastening and temporary support.
Fencing & Agriculture:
Making chain link fences, barbed wire, and gabion baskets.
Agricultural enclosures, livestock control, and creating trellises for crops/vines.
Industrial Use:
Packaging and baling materials like cardboard and scrap metal.
Cable armoring.
Other:
Crafting, DIY projects, and general household repairs.
