Bucket handle wire, or wire handler, is made from high quality carbon steel, through the processes of drawing, acid pickling, annealing,galvanizing, harden by redrawing, etc. It has good tensile strength and elasticity, and high corrosion resistance due to the thick zinc coating layer.
The cross section of the bucket handle wire is round. Drawing by precise equipment, the tolerance of the diameter could reach +/- 0.01mm. The tensile strength could reach above 650 MPa,25-35 g/sqmm for zinc coating. Long service life, and high bearing capaci-ty. Main specifications vary from diameter 2.5mm to 4.0mm, could be used for 5L-25L paint/chemical buckets.
