    PTFE Coated—This coating has a slippery surface, so it’s especially useful as a fish wire when navigating through confined spaces.
    304 Stainless Steel—It is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.
    316 Stainless Steel—One of the most corrosion-resistant types of stainless steel, 316 stands up to the harshest chemicals, including bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid. It's a step up from 304, which has similar strength and temperature performance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.
