The 3x2 Hardwire® is a high carbon steel cord with a micro-fine brass or galvanized coating. The 3X2 cord is made by twisting 5 individual wire filaments together - 3 straight filaments wrapped by 2 filaments at a high twist angle. The result is an easy to handle cord that combines great engineering values with excellent economics. If your application is tension dominated choose the 3x2.

Characteristics:

• Excellent mix of engineering properties - Up to 8 KIPS/inch.
• Great stiffness, instant wet-ability, and excellent conformability.
• Works in all resins.
• Asymmetric shape acts like a screw and gives great mechanical bonding characteristics.
• Excellent fatigue properties in tension and in high-flex situations.
• Great choice for extrusion and pultrusion applications
