Trade Grade Binding Wire 16 Gauge, Soft Annealed, 25kg Coil

16 Gauge Binding Wire

The Trade Grade Binding Wire provides a reliable solution for securing reinforcement steel in structural concrete applications. This 16-gauge mild steel wire undergoes a specialized thermal annealing process to ensure maximum flexibility and ductility for site workers. It is sized at 1.6mm diameter to balance tensile strength with ease of manual twisting, making it the standard choice for steel fixers and masonry contractors.

Built for the Job

This material is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of reinforcement cages before concrete pouring. On a busy job site, the softness of the metal allows for tight, secure knots that do not snap under the tension of a tying tool. The 25kg bulk coil format is designed for high-volume consumption on commercial foundations, floor slabs, and column reinforcement projects where efficiency is a priority.

• Securing rebar intersections in heavy-duty foundation mats and bridge decks.

• Fixing stirrups and links to main longitudinal bars in beams and columns.

• Tying galvanized or PVC-coated mesh for fencing and perimeter security.

Product Highlights

Soft Annealed Finish

The heat treatment process removes internal stresses from the steel, resulting in a black oxide finish that is easy to bend by hand.

High Tensile Ductility

• Maintains a secure grip on rebar without brittle failure during mechanical vibration.
• Optimized elongation properties allow for multiple twists without compromising the tie’s integrity.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Store this material in a dry, covered area to prevent surface oxidation and rust before use on rebar.

• Use standard steel-fixing nips or side cutters for clean snips and to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tying.

• Ensure the wire ends are bent inward toward the concrete core to prevent “ghosting” or rust spots on the finished concrete surface.

• This thickness is compatible with most automatic rebar tying machines designed for standard coils.
