Galvanised steel wire is coated with a protective layer of zinc that prevents rust and extends service life. The type of galvanisation – hot-dip or electro-galvanised, soft or hard drawn – determines how the wire performs in your application. As a supplier we select the right variant for each situation and ensure you quickly receive the material that fits your process.
Hot-dip galvanised wire is immersed in molten zinc, creating a robust layer that delivers long-lasting performance in outdoor or humid environments. Electro-galvanised wire has a thinner, uniform layer and is highly workable – ideal for lighter applications and indoor use. Soft drawn wire is flexible and easy to handle for tying or tensioning, while hard drawn wire provides high tensile strength for structural connections. The zinc coating thickness can be adjusted as required, depending on lifespan and conditions
Key options at a glance
Hot-dip galvanised — robust protection for outdoor and humid environments
Electro-galvanised — smooth, thin coating for easy processing
Soft drawn — flexible and easy to bend or tension
Hard drawn — high tensile strength for structural use
Applications and advice: prevent rust and downtime
The right type of galvanised wire depends on several factors: the environment (indoor, outdoor or humid), the load it must withstand (light or structural), the way it is processed (manual or mechanical) and the required service life (temporary or long-term).
Outdoors or in fluctuating temperatures, a thicker zinc coating pays off. Indoors or for shorter use, workability is more important. For structural connections you choose tensile strength; for quick tying, flexibility matters most.
Typical applications
Reinforcement meshes and plaster carriers in construction
Guiding systems and fencing in agriculture
Hooks, brackets and tying wire in industry
Clips, springs and connections in transport and automotive
