FAQ

FAQ — GI Binding Wire

1. What is GI Binding Wire?

GI Binding Wire, or Galvanised Iron Binding Wire, is a mild steel wire coated with zinc to protect against corrosion. It is widely used in construction, agriculture, and general binding purposes.

2. What does “GI” mean in GI Binding Wire?

“GI” stands for Galvanised Iron, indicating that the steel wire is coated with a layer of zinc through galvanisation to improve its durability and resistance to rust.

3. What are the common sizes available?

GI Binding Wire is typically available in gauges ranging from 16 SWG to 20 SWG, depending on the required strength and flexibility for specific tasks.

4. What is the main use of GI Binding Wire in construction?

It is primarily used for tying reinforcement bars (rebar) during concrete construction to hold them in place before and during pouring of concrete.

5. Can GI Binding Wire be used outdoors?

Yes. Thanks to its galvanised zinc coating, GI Binding Wire resists corrosion and is suitable for outdoor applications, including fencing and agricultural work.

6. How strong is GI Binding Wire?

It has good tensile strength and flexibility, allowing it to be twisted or bent easily without breaking during use in binding or fastening applications.

7. Is GI Binding Wire reusable?

While technically possible, it is not commonly reused in structural or safety applications, as bending and uncoiling can reduce its strength and integrity.

8. How should GI Binding Wire be stored?

Store it in a dry, covered area away from moisture to prevent corrosion and prolong shelf life, even though it has a zinc coating for protection.
