About Low Stretch

1x7 Low Stretch has significantly lower stretch and a modulus value around 30% higher than conventional wire strand. Low stretch strand compaction gives a guaranteed breaking load around 30% higher than conventional wire strand. 1x7 low stretch smooth surface is attractive, and corrosion resistant.
