Overview

Screen Wire

Screen Wire is a high-tensile product primarily used in the quarrying and mining industries for the production of woven screen mesh. Being used in such severe applications, the product must be able to withstand both the required amount of crimping in manufacture and the impact and abrasion experienced in use. InfraBuild Wire Screen Wire has been developed and refined over many decades to ensure a consistent and reliable product.
