Galvanized Flat Wire for Brush Making from Mexico
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.
