Black annealed wire is made of carbon steel wire, and it is usually applied in daily binding. L.T.M's Shark label wire is made from the softest annealed wire available, to assure you that it will consistently form the perfect tie every time. From a saddle tie, to the wrap and saddle, to the figure eight, the pliability of L.T.M's tie wire makes every tie a snap. Annealed wire is stored in coils or pre-cut form, depending on the purposes for which it is intended. Produced from the process of oxygen free annealing, the annealed wire offers excellent flexibility and softness.
