Platinum Wire
- Hardness: Rockwell B97 (Medium)
99.95% pure, this platinum wire is used for applications that require a soft material that resists corrosion and oxidation and has a high melting point. This wire allows heat and electricity to pass and resists oxide buildup, making it ideal for thermocouple probes, which require accurate readings even at high temperatures. Soft enough to create a good seal between two flanges, it's also used to make high-vacuum O-rings. Platinum's softness means it won't damage the flanges, so they can be used again. The high melting point of this wire makes it a better choice for sealing heated flanges than other materials such as gold.

Tantalum Wire
- Hardness: Rockwell C69 (Ultra Hard)
Harder than platinum and able to withstand higher temperatures than gold, this 99.98% pure tantalum wire also resists corrosion and conducts heat. It’s often used in heating elements for furnaces.

Difficult-to-Bend Corrosion-Resistant
Small-Diameter Braided Wire—Not for Lifting
This braided wire has a stiff construction for use as bracing and guy wires. This stainless steel braided wire can handle corrosive environments, such as areas that are frequently washed down. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut.
