PROVEN BEST WORLDWIDE

Tests in the USA, Europe, and Japan showed that the Superlife™ Wire coating lasts three to five times longer in corrosive salt and chemical sprays (similar to herbicides, pesticides, etc.).

Superlife's better sacrificial behavior means that bare spots on the wire from scratches will not corrode for an even longer distance away from the coating.

MAXIMUM STRENGTH WITH KNOTABILITY - for easy construction of all weights and styles of high tensile wire fences.

OVERALL COSTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER - (up to 50% less) since less maintenance labor and less frequent replacement is required:

- when rusty wire is undesirable and affects property values,

- when rusty wire will not be reused on new posts,

- when corrosive environments exist from acid rain, nearby factories, salt, or sprays,

- when used for trellising crops where sprays are used and vegetation traps moisture on wire.

*Wire life estimate is for a humid environment without other corrosive chemicals (it will last much longer in a dry climate) and only about half as long in coastal and industrial environments and when exposed to corrosive sprays and chemicals.

MAX-FLEX wires all have heavy class 3 type coatings (Class 80 Zn5Al) with a minimum of 0.8 ounces per square foot of wire surface which equals about 40-45 microns of thickness on the graph above. There are no comparable products to MAX-FLEX Superlife Wire in the American fence wire market. Others are Class 40 with only half the coating weight, 0.4 ounces per square foot of wire surface.

A100 Longlife™ HT Wire, 12 1/2 gage, grade 180-205 HT wire with 1380 lbs. min (1570# max) breaking strength, 55 pounds and nominal 2160' per coil, class 3 zinc, to ASTM A854. The expected number of years of use in a "humid environment" until rust first appears is 13 to 20.

A102 Superlife 12™ HT Wire, 12 1/2 gage, grade 180-205 HT wire with 1380 lbs. min (1570# max) breaking strength, 55 pounds and nominal 2160' per coil. Only MAX-FLEX Superlife™ wire has a full weight class 3 type coating of zinc-5 aluminum alloy that lasts three times as long as class 3 zinc coatings. The expected number of years of use in a "humid environment" until rust first appears is 40 to 60.

A110 Superlife 14™ HT Wire, 14 1/2 gage, grade 180-205 HT wire with 820 lbs. min (940# max) breaking strength, 33 1/2 pounds and nominal 2160' per coil, Superlife™ coating. Easy to handle and tie, as strong as barbed wire, ideal for permanent electric fence and easier do-it-yourself fence.
