Detailed Product Description

The GMP lashing wire is packaged as 6 coils per carton for your ordering convenience

Is available in a 430, 302, and 316 stainless steel alloy

Type 430 Stainless

Low carbon, 17% chromium wire

Suitable for general use and in ordinary atmospheric exposure

Will acquire only a dark surface stain

Specifically not recommended for use within 25 miles of salt water or industrial operations which emit pollutants

Type 302 Stainless

18% chromium, 8% nickel analysis

This wire has excellent resistance to corrosion from industrial atmospheres

Its higher tensile strength and breaking load are an added benefit

A .038 in. diameter Type 302 wire provides strength equal to a .045 in. type 430 wire with better ductility (easier bending and unwinding) and better elongation (less chance of wire breakage from stress)

Type 316 Stainless

Modified 18-10 analysis containing approximately 2.5% molybdenum

More resistant to the corrosive action of most chemicals, including chlorides and sulfides, than any other wire

Particularly resistant to pitting and pin hole corrosion of the kind commonly caused by salt spray

Its use provides the best insurance against failure under the most severe atmospheric conditions

All lashing wire is wound in a straight hub configuration to fit all the standard GMP lashers
