Plastic-coated binding wire, also known as PVC or vinyl-coated binding wire, offers a versatile and cost-effective solution for various binding and tying applications. The plastic coating provides several advantages over uncoated wire, including:

Advantages

  • Corrosion resistance: Protects the wire from rust and corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments.
  • Weather resistance: Shields the wire from sunlight, rain, and snow.
  • Smooth finish: Prevents damage to bound materials.
  • Strength and flexibility: Available in various strengths and thicknesses for a wide range of applications.

Applications

  • Construction: Tying rebar, securing scaffolding, and bundling materials.
  • Agriculture: Tying vines, securing fences, and bundling crops.
  • Industrial: Bundling wires and cables, securing pallets, and hanging signs.
  • Other uses: Securing loads during transport, crafting, and household repairs.

Material

  • Galvanized Steel: The most common core material for PVC coated binding wire, offering a good balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and affordability.

Wire Diameter (AWG & BWG)

PVC coated binding wire is typically measured using the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system, with lower AWG numbers indicating larger wire diameters.

  • 10 Gauge (3.2 mm): A strong and thick option for heavy-duty applications in construction and industrial settings.
  • 12 Gauge (2.4 mm): A versatile size suitable for a wide range of applications, from construction and agriculture to bundling and securing items.
  • 14 Gauge (2.0 mm): A popular choice for general-purpose binding needs, offering a good balance of strength and ease of use.
  • 16 Gauge (1.6 mm): A thinner and more flexible option ideal for lighter-duty applications or situations where a smaller profile is desired.
  • 18 Gauge (1.2 mm): A very flexible and thin option, often used for delicate tasks or applications where minimal wire visibility is preferred.

Birmingham Wire Gauge (BWG) Common diameters include:

  • 8 BWG: 0.165 inches (4.19 mm)
  • 10 BWG: 0.134 inches (3.40 mm)
  • 12 BWG: 0.109 inches (2.77 mm)
  • 14 BWG: 0.083 inches (2.11 mm)
  • 16 BWG: 0.065 inches (1.65 mm)
  • 18 BWG: 0.049 inches (1.24 mm)

  • 16 gauge (1.63 mm)
  • 14 gauge (2.03 mm)
  • 12 gauge (2.77 mm)

Length of the Legs

  • 4 inches (10.16 cm)
  • 6 inches (15.24 cm)
  • 8 inches (20.32 cm)
  • 10 inches (25.4 cm)
  • 12 inches (30.48 cm)

Examples of Common Combinations

  • 18 gauge, 4 inches
  • 16 gauge, 6 inches
  • 14 gauge, 8 inches
  • 12 gauge, 10 inches

The specific size required will depend on the application, with thicker wire gauges being used for heavier-duty tasks and longer lengths providing more flexibility for securing larger bundles.
