STANDARD STRAIGHT WIRE
Choose the appropriate straight wire based on job specifications and application. Different coating methods provide thicker or thinner layers of zinc measured in grams per meter². ASTM hot-dip galvanizing provides much better and more consistent corrosion resistance than electrogalvanization. ASTM hot-dip galvanizing adheres coating standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Stainless steel doesn’t require a coating due to its corrosion resistant properties, though it is also not as pliable as galvanized steel.
