 Bezalplast wires consists of an ultra thin PET coating on top of Bezinal, a highly anticorrosive combination of Zinc and Aluminum. Thanks to the newest coating techniques and an intensive development process, Bekaert was able to set new standards of adhesion to the core wire. This unique combination of coating and wire gives Bezalplast unprecedented corrosion resistance and formability. Available in over 20 colors, Bezalplast is a cost effective alternative to all stainless steel applications.
The InterWire Group is the sole U.S. Distributor of Bekaerts Bezinalto the spring industry. The product line includes Hard Drawn (ASTM A227) and Music (ASTM A228) wire for sizes 0.025 to 0.187.
