· ​Optimized Low-Relaxation Property: Advanced thermal-mechanical stabilization significantly minimizes long-term stress loss, maintaining stable prestressing force over the structure's design lifecycle.
· ​Superior Bonding Strength: The precise 7-wire geometry offers maximum mechanical interlock with structural grout and concrete, preventing slip in post-tensioned systems.
· ​High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Premium high-carbon steel wire rods ensure maximum ultimate breaking strength while optimizing structural dead weight.
· ​Full Traceability: Manufactured under stringent ISO 9001 protocols. Each shipment includes a comprehensive Mill Test Certificate (MTC) detailing chemical composition and mechanical test logs.
​Engineered for heavy-load-bearing structural projects across global markets:
· ​Transportation Infrastructure: Highway and railway bridges, box girders, precast segmental bridges, and elevated viaducts.
· ​Commercial & High-Rise Buildings: Post-tensioned slab systems, parking structures, and large-span industrial roofs.
· ​Geotechnical & Marine Construction: Ground anchors, rock slopes, dam reinforcement, and port wharfs.
​Q: What international standards do your 12.7mm PC strands comply with?
A: Our steel strands comply strictly with ASTM A416, BS 5896, EN 10138, and GB/T 5224, ensuring seamless compatibility with global project specs.
​Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and export packaging?
A: Standard MOQ is 1 20ft container (approx. 20-27 tons). Coils are wrapped in moisture-proof plastic film, heavy-duty anti-rust woven cloth, secured with steel strapping, and palletized for safe container shipping.
​Q: Can you accommodate third-party inspections?
A: Yes. We fully support independent factory inspections and pre-shipment tests by SGS, BV, Intertek, or TUV.
