Profiled zinc-coated flat wire (0.7mm x 3.2mm) nonalloy steel interlocked to form flexible cable armor protection. Classified HTS 7217.20.15.00 as base plated flat wire. Provides mechanical protection with corrosion resistance.
Fine Galvanized Flat Edging Wire
Fine gauge zinc-plated flat wire (0.15mm x 0.8mm) nonalloy steel for decorative metal edging and trim applications. HTS 7217.20.15.00 for narrow plated flat wire. Coating enables bending without cracking.
Structural Galvanized Flat Wire for Reinforcement
Structural-grade zinc-coated flat wire (2mm x 8mm) nonalloy steel for reinforcing composite panels and laminates. Under HTS 7217.20.15.00 as heavy flat plated wire. High strength-to-weight ratio for composites.
Galvanized Steel Flat Wire for Binding Applications
Flat wire of iron or nonalloy steel, plated or coated with zinc, typically 0.5mm thick by 1.5mm wide, used for tying rebar in construction or securing bales. It falls under HTS 7217.20.15.00 as it matches the definition of flat wire which is zinc-coated nonalloy steel wire. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance essential for outdoor use.
Zinc-Coated Flat Steel Wire for Staples
Narrow flat wire of nonalloy steel, galvanized with zinc coating, dimensions around 0.4mm x 1.2mm, primarily used in manufacturing heavy-duty staples for packaging and upholstery. Classified under HTS 7217.20.15.00 due to its flat profile and zinc plating on nonalloy steel base. The coating ensures durability in industrial stapling applications.
Galvanized Flat Wire for Brush Making
Thin galvanized flat wire of iron or nonalloy steel, approximately 0.3mm thick by 2mm wide, used as bristle material in industrial wire brushes for cleaning and deburring. It qualifies for HTS 7217.20.15.00 as zinc-plated flat wire of nonalloy steel. The flat shape allows better filament packing in brush tufts.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Flat Wire for Fencing
Flat nonalloy steel wire with heavy hot-dip zinc coating, sized 1mm x 3mm, used in woven wire fencing for agricultural and security applications. Falls under HTS 7217.20.15.00 for its zinc-coated flat wire characteristics. The robust galvanization protects against rural corrosion exposure.
Zinc-Plated Narrow Flat Wire for Electrical Binding
Narrow flat wire (0.2mm x 1mm) of nonalloy steel with zinc plating, used for bundling electrical cables and wiring harnesses in automotive assembly. Classified in HTS 7217.20.15.00 as plated flat wire of iron/nonalloy steel. Zinc coating prevents contact corrosion in electrical applications.
Galvanized Flat Weaving Wire
Flat zinc-coated nonalloy steel wire, 0.6mm x 2.5mm, designed for power loom weaving into industrial filter screens and meshes. HTS 7217.20.15.00 applies to this plated flat wire profile. The flat cross-section optimizes mesh openness and strength.
Industrial Zinc-Coated Flat Annealed Wire
Annealed flat wire of nonalloy steel with zinc coating, dimensions 0.8mm x 4mm, for formable clips and fasteners in HVAC ductwork. Falls under HTS 7217.20.15.00 for galvanized flat wire properties. Annealing provides superior bendability for shaping.
