Galvanized Steel Sealing Wire – 1 mm, Spiral
Galvanized steel sealing wire ranks as the most widely used wire in the field of wire seals, so it suits almost any everyday sealing job. Because its spiral shape pairs perfectly with lead seals and the matching lead seal press, professionals across utilities, transport and industry reach for it first. As a result, it has become the standard choice wherever reliable, low-cost sealing matters.
The wire measures 1 mm in diameter, and a 0.50 mm core carries a 0.30 mm wire wound around it in a spiral. Moreover, the zinc coating protects the annealed steel against corrosion, while the spiral form keeps the wire flexible and easy to thread. Once you press the lead seal down correctly, you simply cannot pull the seal out again. Therefore, it delivers clear, dependable tamper evidence every time.
In addition, it works with all types of wire security seals, including twist seals and meter seals for electricity, gas and water. At LPX Trade, we dispatch it quickly from Liepāja, Latvia, and we deliver across the Baltics and the wider European Union.

Frequently asked questions
What is galvanized steel sealing wire used for?
It threads through wire security seals — most often lead seals pressed with a sealing press. Because it costs little yet performs reliably, it remains the most common wire in the field.
What diameter and shape does it have?
It measures 1 mm in total diameter and takes a spiral form. Specifically, a 0.50 mm core wire carries a 0.30 mm wire wound around it at 50 coils per 100 mm.
Does it resist corrosion?
Yes. A zinc coating of at least 20 g/m² protects the annealed steel, so the wire holds up well in everyday conditions.
Which seals does it work with?
It works with all types of wire security seals, including lead seals, twist seals and meter seals for electricity, gas and water.
