PVC Wire FAQ: Sizes, Coatings, Uses and Packing

The coated wire is used for animal breeding, protection, aquaculture, agriculture and forestry, park and zoo enclosures, stadiums, fencing, construction and electrical wiring. The surface layer helps shield the steel core from moisture, chemicals and other corrosive elements.

Choose the application before finalizing the size. An enclosure project, for example, may need a different finished diameter and coil length from a construction or wiring project. Send the use case with your requested specification so the product can be matched to the job.

The listed core wire diameters are 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mm. The corresponding diameters after coating are 0.6, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 mm.

When ordering, specify whether a measurement refers to the steel core or the finished coated wire. This avoids confusing a 1.0 mm core with a 1.0 mm finished diameter.

The listed tensile strength is 400 to 600 N/mm². Use this range as the product specification when preparing a design or purchasing request, and state the required core and finished diameters alongside it.

Available colors include dark green, bright green, white and black. Other color requirements should be included in the purchasing inquiry so the requested finish can be addressed with the order details.

Packing can be arranged according to customer requirements. Small coils are listed in lengths such as 50 m, 100 m, 150 m and 200 m. The packing description includes plastic inside with hessian woven outside, or nylon woven outside. Coil weights are listed from 0.1 kg to 500 kg per coil.

For a fencing or enclosure project, check the handling space and installation method before choosing the coil length. For distribution, state the preferred coil weight, length and outer packing when asking for a packing arrangement.

The product is intended for indoor and outdoor uses, including fencing, aquaculture, agriculture, forestry, parks, zoos and stadium enclosures. Its PVC layer provides protection against moisture, chemicals, wear and the elements.

A buyer planning an outdoor enclosure should identify the site use, required finished diameter, color and coil length before ordering. Those details provide a practical specification for the supplier to review.

Include the following information:

• core wire diameter
• diameter after coating
• intended application
• color
• coil length or target coil weight
• preferred packing arrangement
• required quantity

For example, an aquaculture or animal-breeding buyer can send the application, finished diameter, color and coil length together. A distributor can add the preferred coil weight and outer packing. Prepare those details before requesting a quotation so the supplier can review the same specification for every coil.
