Steel Wire EN 10218-2, EN 10080

At UTMK, you can order Steel Wire in a wide range to meet any industrial or construction need. We offer certified products, including general-purpose (binding) wire, VR-1 reinforcing wire, and barbed wire, manufactured in strict compliance with key international and regional standards. Our assortment provides reliable solutions for both large-scale industrial projects and private construction.

Technical Specifications

Steel wire is produced by cold drawing low-carbon steel and can be supplied in various conditions and with different surface types depending on its intended use. The main parameters of the products in our catalog meet key industry standards.

Types of Wire

Our catalog features the main types of steel wire, each with its own specific properties and application areas.

• General-Purpose Wire (EN 10218-2). This is the most versatile type of low-carbon steel wire, produced by cold drawing. It is supplied in a thermally treated (annealed) state for maximum plasticity, making it ideal for tying rebar, or in a non-thermally treated (hard-drawn) state for manufacturing nails, mesh, and fencing. It can be zinc-coated for corrosion protection.


• Reinforcing Wire (EN 10080). This is a cold-drawn, low-carbon steel wire with a ribbed or indented profile. The ribbing ensures a strong bond with concrete, making it a key component for reinforcing concrete structures and producing welded reinforcing mesh.


• Barbed Wire (EN 10223-1). This consists of a steel core wire with sharp barbs twisted around it. It is most often supplied with a zinc coating for durability in outdoor conditions and is used to create effective security fences and barriers.

Advantages of Steel Wire

Steel wire is one of the most in-demand metal products due to its versatile properties. Selecting the correct type of wire ensures the reliability of structures and the efficiency of production processes.

• High Strength and Ductility. Depending on the thermal treatment, the wire can be either extremely flexible and soft (annealed), which is perfect for tying, or hard and resilient, providing rigidity for structural applications.


• Versatility in Application. Thanks to a wide range of diameters, coatings, and mechanical properties, steel wire is used in nearly every sector, from reinforcing foundations and manufacturing mesh to creating fences and securing loads.


• Superior Bond with Concrete. Ribbed profile wire (reinforcing wire) features special indentations that significantly increase its adhesion to concrete, ensuring the monolithic integrity and longevity of reinforced concrete structures.


• Durability and Corrosion Resistance. Wire with a zinc coating (galvanized) is highly resistant to moisture and aggressive environments, which significantly extends the service life of structures used outdoors.

Application Areas

The versatility of steel wire allows it to be used across a wide range of industries, from major construction projects to agriculture.

• Industrial and Civil Engineering (B2B):


• Reinforcement of concrete structures (ribbed wire compliant with EN 10080).


• Manufacturing of welded reinforcing mesh for concrete slabs, walls, and foundations (used in structures designed according to EN 1992 / Eurocode 2).


• Production of fasteners, nails, screws, and various types of mesh, including chain-link fencing (compliant with EN 10223-6).


• Creation of high-security perimeters using barbed wire (compliant with EN 10223-1).


• SME and DIY Applications:


• Tying rebar for foundations in residential construction (using soft annealed binding wire).


• Installing fences and enclosures for properties and gardens.


• Creating trellises and support systems for plants in agriculture and horticulture.


• General-purpose repairs, fastening, and crafting projects.
