Overview of Rebar Tie Wire

Yuandong offers a comprehensive range of iron wire products, including galvanized iron wire, big coils, PVC coated wire, U type wire, and rebar tie wire (also known as loop tie wire). As a leading supplier in the industry, we ensure each product meets rigorous quality standards for construction and industrial applications.

The term "rebar tie wire" directly reflects its primary function: securely tying and fixing reinforcing steel bars (rebar) in concrete construction. This wire plays a critical role in maintaining structural integrity during concrete pouring and curing, making it an essential material for foundations, bridges, buildings, and other reinforced concrete structures.

Key Features and Specifications

Rebar tie wire is available in diameters ranging from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, corresponding to gauges between 25 and 15 (AWG). The most commonly used sizes are 1.0 mm (18 gauge) and 1.2 mm (16 gauge), offering an ideal balance of flexibility and strength for manual or automatic tying.

Material and Finish Options

We supply two primary finishes:

• Soft Annealed Rebar Tie Wire – This wire undergoes a controlled annealing process that removes internal stresses, making it exceptionally pliable and easy to twist without breaking. It is ideal for high-speed tying operations and remains ductile even in cold weather conditions.
• PVC Coated Rebar Tie Wire – A plastic powder coating is applied to the annealed wire, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and a smooth, non-abrasive surface. The coating protects both the wire from rust and the hands of workers during installation, reducing injury risk and improving grip.

Mechanical Properties

• Tensile strength: Typically 40–55 ksi (275–380 MPa) for annealed wire, providing sufficient holding force without being brittle.
• Elongation: Minimum 12% in 2 inches (50 mm), ensuring the wire can be twisted and tightened without fracture.
• Surface finish: Bright, clean, and free of oil or grease, ready for immediate use.

Forms of Supply and Accessories

Rebar tie wire is supplied in three convenient forms to suit different job site requirements:

• Coils – Continuous wire wound into coils, typically weighing 1–25 kg per coil. Ideal for automated tying machines or large-scale projects where high volume is needed.
• Looped Ends – Pre-cut lengths with a loop at one or both ends, allowing quick manual tying without tools. Common lengths range from 30 cm to 60 cm.
• Straight Cuts – Wire cut to precise lengths (e.g., 100 mm to 600 mm) for specific rebar intersections or custom applications.

To complement our wire, we also supply tie wire twisters and manual tying tools. These ergonomic devices accelerate the tying process, reduce worker fatigue, and ensure consistent tension across all connections. Our twisters are compatible with wire diameters up to 1.5 mm and are built for durability on demanding job sites.

Applications and Industry Benefits

Beyond its traditional use in rebar tying, this versatile wire serves a wide range of applications:

• Concrete Reinforcement – Tying rebar mats, columns, beams, and slabs in commercial and residential construction.
• Gardening and Horticulture – Soft annealed or PVC-coated wire is used for staking plants, training vines, and supporting greenhouse structures due to its flexibility and rust resistance.
• General Binding – Securing bundles of pipes, cables, or lumber; also used in craft and DIY projects where a pliable metal tie is needed.
• Precast Concrete – Tying rebar cages for precast elements like manholes, pipes, and barrier walls.

Why Choose Yuandong Rebar Tie Wire?

• Consistent quality – controlled annealing and coating processes ensure uniform properties batch to batch.
• Wide size range – from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, with custom diameters available upon request.
• Eco-friendly packaging – coils are wound on recyclable spools or bundled with biodegradable ties.
• Global shipping – our wire is exported to over 40 countries with reliable lead times.

For large projects, we offer bulk coiling with weights up to 500 kg per coil, reducing downtime for spool changes. All products are inspected for gauge tolerance, surface quality, and mechanical properties before dispatch.
