Applications
Where it is used
Use it for coastal warehouses and long transit, where R.P. wire is not enough but brass would cost more than the carton justifies. For sea export, see pure brass.
Used for
Coastal warehousing
Long inland transit
Extended storage
Coastal and humid warehouses, long transit, long storage before dispatch, and high speed lines where rust problems cause rework and downtime.
