About Stainless Steel

About Wire and Cable

Bend-and-Stay Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Wire

Bend this wire and it will stay put. Frequently used as tying wire and locking wire, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

Flat wire won’t roll or slip, so it provides a tight, secure wrap around pipes, rods, and other round surfaces.

Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. Download certificates from ORDER HISTORY after your order ships.
