Tin-Coated Multipurpose 110 Copper Wire
- Temper Rating: Softened (Annealed)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Tensile Strength: 29,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM B33
The tin coating provides a higher level of corrosion resistance and makes it easier to solder than Mirror-Like Multipurpose 110 Copper Wire. Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used as grounding wire. This wire has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent.

Easy-to-Form 1100 Aluminum Wire
- Yield Strength: 3,500 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated (Soft)
- Temper: O
- Fabrication: Cold Drawn
- Specifications Met: ASTM B211
This wire has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent. Use it as tie wire and for bundling. Because 1100 aluminum is 99% pure, it offers superior formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.
