Mirror-Like Multipurpose 110 Copper Wire
- Temper Rating: Softened (Annealed)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Tensile Strength: 29,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM B3
This wire is polished to a mirror-like finish. Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used as grounding wire. It has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent.
Super-Elastic Nitinol Wire
- Temper: Spring (Hardened)
- Tensile Strength: 181,000 psi
Commonly used for eyeglass frames and antennas, this wire bounces back to its original shape after bending, stretching, and twisting. Nitinol is a nickel-titanium alloy.

Platinum Wire
- Hardness: Rockwell B97 (Very Hard)
Use this 99.95% pure platinum wire to create thermocouple probes and other parts that maintain high accuracy in extreme conditions. It won’t oxidize, won’t corrode in most settings, and has low thermal and electrical resistance. Platinum is often used to make O-rings, even for high-vacuum applications, because it’s soft enough to form a good seal when pressed between two flanges, yet won’t damage the flanges so you can reuse them. It’s also useful with high temperatures since it has a higher melting point than other sealing materials, such as gold.

Difficult-to-Bend Corrosion-Resistant
Small-Diameter Braided Wire—Not for Lifting
This braided wire has a stiff construction for use as bracing and guy wires. This stainless steel braided wire can handle corrosive environments, such as areas that are frequently washed down. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut. Lubricated rope reduces wear.
