Benefits


EXCELLENT STRAIGHTNESS

Easy to use and handle, offering less building cost and time

CONSISTENT ELASTICITY

Low relaxation gives the strand a very consistent modulus of elasticity up to 80% of the strand’s ultimate strength.

SUSTAINABLE STEEL

Due to the EAF technology and our energy efficiency investments, our process is one of the lowest CO2/product rates in North America.
