Beading wire, Accu-Flex® 1pkg1, nylon / nickel / titanium, black, 1 strand, 0.0078-inch diameter, 30-foot spool.

Strong, flexible, and kink resistant, Accu-Flex® is intended to be part of the design. This beading wire is flexible, resists kinking and is best when crimped. Accu-Flex wire is free of heavy metals and can be recycled. The hard plastic spool is made of polystyrene that can be also recycled.

Clear nylon coating protects the metal cable underneath, protecting from abrasion while allowing the metal color to show through.

This Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire is created with 55% nickel and 45% titanium. It has a natural oxide layer that makes it look black.

This single-strand beading wire has low flexibility, high kink resistance, solid abrasion resistance, high strength and an ultra-firm drape. This strand count is ideal for strung designs undergoing high levels of movement, such as twisting, or high levels of structure, such as looping and interweaving. Since it includes titanium, this 1-strand beading wire is ideal for lightweight or floating-style jewelry that springs back into shape. Beading wire is not recommended for cultured pearls.

Nickel/titanium Accu-Flex with a 0.0078 inch diameter has a tensile strength of 12.5 pounds. Tensile strength or "pound test" refers to the maximum amount of tensile (pulling or stretching) force that a material can withstand before breaking. This strength is ideal for medium weight strung designs using larger sizes of gemstone, glass, porcelain and crystal beads, plus smaller (or fewer) metal beads and similarly weighted beads and components. Wire diameter may vary by 0.35-0.36mm.

The 30-foot spool is ideal for one-of-a-kind jewelry and creating or testing design prototypes.
