Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (NAICS 332618)

Plastics are widely used to fabricate wire products and in wire product manufacturing applications, most commonly HDPE, PVC, Polypropylene, ABS, UHMW, and Phenolics.

Wire mesh partitions are commonly used in various industrial and commercial settings to create secure enclosures and partitions. Plastic materials, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), may be used as infill panels or protective coatings for wire mesh partitions, providing additional safety, privacy, or aesthetic features. Plastic shelves or trays can be integrated into wire rack systems to provide a flat, stable surface for storing and displaying products. These plastic components can be made from polypropylene (PP) or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) may be used as a liner or coating material in wire baskets and containers, providing a low-friction surface for smooth material handling and preventing damage to delicate items. Additionally, UHMW can be utilized as insulating components or spacers in wire-based systems, ensuring electrical insulation and proper spacing between wires or wire components. Rigid phenolic can be employed as insulating panels, mounting boards, or base plates in fabricated wire products, providing electrical insulation, stability, and support for electrical components and systems.
