Metal wire
Frigerio & Duroni drawn wire for the graphic arts and bookbinding industries
Frigerio & Duroni, an Italy-based company specialized in the production of metal wire, offers a high-quality product for the graphic arts and bookbinding industries: zinc-coated drawn wire. Made from low and medium carbon steel, this wire is bath drawn to ensure high performance and a bright finish, making it ideal for aesthetic applications.
What is bath drawing?
The bath drawing technique used by Frigerio & Duroni gives the finished wire a particularly shiny and clean surface. Thanks to specific baths that optimally lubricate the wire during the drawing process, residues of dirt or zinc are avoided—elements that could otherwise impair machine operation and cause duct blockages.
Careful processing and material selection ensure a smooth and uniform surface—essential features for bookbinding applications.
