JSW Neostrands Wax-Filled Extruded PE Coated PC Strand

JSW Neostrands brings the JSW Neostrands Wax-Filled Extruded PE Coated PC Strand to market for stay-cable and post-tensioning applications where the tendon must be individually protected before it ever reaches the anchorage.

Governed by IS 14268 (or project standard) + PE coating spec, the mechanical envelope spans a bare 15.2–15.7 mm strand wrapped in a 1.25 mm (±0.5 mm) wax layer and extruded with an HDPE sheath, bringing the coated strand’s unit weight to roughly 1.3 kg/m while the bare strand inside can still be certified to IS 14268 or any other project-specified standard.

Demand for the JSW Neostrands Wax-Filled Extruded PE Coated PC Strand is strongest on stay cables and post-tensioned members where corrosion protection, reduced friction during stressing and long-term durability all matter more than raw material cost.

Manufacturing control on the JSW Neostrands Wax-Filled Extruded PE Coated PC Strand rests on Neotrex Steel Limited’s BIS and ISO certification and its NABL-accredited test laboratory, produced on wire rod mills rated at 1.8 million MT per annum and validated against international schemes including DCL, ACRS and UK-CARES. Advanced sensors on the stranding lines hold temperature and tension within tight process limits throughout production.

A few handling reminders apply to the JSW Neostrands Wax-Filled Extruded PE Coated PC Strand: cut only with an abrasive disc cutter or shear cutter, never with a flame or welding torch, since heat changes the steel’s microstructure and its mechanical properties. Coils should be unloaded with a crane rather than dropped off the vehicle, stored under cover on a raised platform away from direct ground or water contact, and protected with a vapour phase inhibitor if they will sit on site for an extended period before stressing.
