NEMTEK STRANDED WIRES
The Nemtek Stranded wires are made of high tensile
material making them hard to cut thus increasing the
level of security. The flexibility offered by the stranded wire
construction makes working with this wire easier during
installation and results in a neat clean look on the fence
without compromising the fence performance.
• Galvanised A grade stranded wire, 1.2 mm, 1.6 mm,
2.0 mm. The larger diameters offer lower electrical
resistance for longer fence lines, are hard to cut, and
have a longer life span.
• Stainless steel grades 304 and 316 stranded wire, 1.2
mm and 1.6 mm diameter. The stainless steel offers
a high resistance to corrosion, giving it a longer life.
The 316 grade is the wire of choice for highly corrosive
coastal areas.
NEMTEK SOLID WIRES
A variety of solid Nemtek wires are available to address
the different environmental, mechanical strength, and
electrical resistance requirements.
• Galvanised solid wires, light and heavy galvanised,
2.24 mm diameter. This high tensile wire is generally
used for freestanding fencing where a high strength
mechanical fence is needed and is generally used for
game and animal control fencing applications.
• Stainless steel grade 304 and 316 solid wires, 1.0 mm,
1.2 mm diameter. Solid stainless steel offers a high
resistance to corrosion and a longer life span on the
fence, with the 316 grade being the wire of choice for
highly corrosive coastal areas.
• Aluminium solid wire, 1.6 mm and 2.0 mm wire.
Aluminium wire has a very low electrical resistance
allowing long fences to be powered up from only one
energizer and its high resistance to corrosion offers a
long life span on the fence.
