BRC WIRE MESH (HARD DRAWN) IS A HIGH-STRENGTH, STEEL REINFORCEMENT MATERIAL MADE FROM COLD-DRAWN WIRES WITH INCREASED TENSILE STRENGTH, MANUFACTURED TO STANDARDS LIKE MS 145 AND BS 4483. THIS PROCESS MAKES IT AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT FOR ADDING STRENGTH AND CONTROLLING CRACKS IN ALL TYPES OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION.

MATERIAL AND COMPOSITION
THE “HARD DRAWN” ASPECT REFERS TO THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THAT ENHANCES THE WIRE’S MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS: HIGH-TENSILE STEEL WIRE IS DRAWN THROUGH A SERIES OF PROGRESSIVELY SMALLER DIES AT A COLD TEMPERATURE (COLD-DRAWN/COLD-REDUCED). THIS PROCESS INCREASES ITS LENGTH AND TENSILE STRENGTH WHILE REDUCING ITS DIAMETER.

STRENGTH: THE END PRODUCT IS KNOWN FOR ITS HIGH YIELD STRENGTH (TYPICALLY 500 N/MM²) AND ROBUST, STURDY STRUCTURE.

STANDARDS: IT CONFORMS TO MALAYSIAN STANDARD MS 145:2014 AND BRITISH STANDARD BS 4483, ENSURING QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY IN CONSTRUCTION APPLICATIONS.

COMMON APPLICATIONS
BRC WIRE MESH MADE FROM HARD-DRAWN WIRE IS PRIMARILY USED WHERE SUPERIOR STRENGTH AND CRACK CONTROL ARE REQUIRED IN CONCRETE:

CONCRETE SLABS & FLOORING: PROVIDES REINFORCEMENT TO PREVENT CRACKING AND INCREASE LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY IN SUSPENDED AND NON-SUSPENDED SLABS.

FOUNDATIONS & RETAINING WALLS: ADDS STRENGTH TO STRUCTURAL FOUNDATIONS AND WALLS TO WITHSTAND SOIL PRESSURE.

INFRASTRUCTURE: USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF DRIVEWAYS, PAVEMENTS, CULVERTS, AND DRAINS.

PRECAST CONCRETE: IDEAL FOR USE IN PREFABRICATED CONCRETE COMPONENTS.
