Even in rough marine environments where corrosion progresses easily, this wire displays astounding durability because of the strong coating effects of 10% zinc-aluminum alloy plating. This is the representative galvanized wire used most often in metal mesh cages.

Even in rough marine environments where corrosion progresses easily, this wire displays astounding durability because of the strong coating effects of the 10% zinc-aluminum alloy plating. Moreover, we doubled corrosion resistance in comparison to ordinary wire materials by using highly corrosion resistant wire rods. In combination with its high strength, this product can also withstand severe bending and winding and does not break or crack.
