FAQ

What is the difference between black annealed wire and electro galvanized wire and how should I choose?

One of the most common types of wire finish is black annealed, when talking about wire is black annealed. The annealing process takes a simple post-drawn regular steel wire and heats it using an oven or kiln changing the chemical composition. This process softens the wire and changing its color from almost a rough grey or silver to more black or brown color.Black annealed bale ties gives a black or dark look and feel slightly oily. Using a black annealed wire, you may want to notice that the wire has between 5-10% more elongation making it more ideal for tying materials that expand a bit afterwards.

Electro galvanized wire on the other hand, goes through the process of coating or bathing raw steel or “bright basic” wire in a pool of molten zinc. The process of galvanization allows the wire to be used in wet and humid environment without compromising its structural integrity. Galvanized wire is one of the most durable and versatile types of finishes, particularly when storing your wire in an outdoor area.
