KYA 19 Gauge Poly-Coated TwinTier Tie Wire is a dual-wire rebar tying consumable designed for compatible TwinTier-type automatic rebar tying applications. The KYA specification uses approximately 1.0mm low-carbon steel wire with a polyester coating, approximately 33m per strand, and an approximate reel weight of 0.45kg.
The polyester-coated configuration is intended for applications where a protective polymer surface is preferred, including epoxy-coated reinforcement, bridge and road construction, precast concrete, foundations and other reinforced-concrete work.
The corresponding MAX genuine poly-coated TwinTier consumable is identified as TW1061T-PC. MAX specifies this poly-coated version as 19 gauge with an approximately 1.1mm finished diameter, while standard annealed and electro-galvanized TW1061T versions are approximately 1.0mm.

For controlled construction projects, confirm current production documentation for wire diameter, coating thickness, tensile strength, material composition and reel dimensions before bulk purchasing.
KYA lists the underlying steel wire at approximately 1.0mm diameter with an approximately 0.05mm polyester coating. When coating is included around the wire, the finished outside diameter is approximately 1.1mm.
This distinction is important when comparing aftermarket TwinTier wire with MAX specifications. MAX identifies standard TW1061T and TW1061T-EG as approximately 1.0mm, while TW1061T-PC poly-coated wire is specified at approximately 1.1mm finished diameter.
The TwinTier system feeds two wires simultaneously. KYA lists approximately 33m for the dual-wire reel, corresponding to approximately 33m per strand and approximately 66m / 215ft of combined wire across the two strands.
Because both strands are fed at the same time, reel length should not be compared directly with a conventional single-wire 21 gauge reel without considering the dual-wire construction.
Poly-coated tie wire is commonly selected when tying epoxy-coated reinforcement because the polymer surface separates the steel tie wire from direct contact with the coated rebar surface.
The coating can help reduce direct metal-to-coating abrasion during tying, but installers should still follow the epoxy-rebar manufacturer's handling and repair requirements. The tie wire should not be described as guaranteeing that the epoxy coating can never be damaged.
For DOT, bridge or other regulated infrastructure projects, confirm the specified tie-wire material, coating and required compliance documentation before supply.
TwinTier tools feed two wires simultaneously and form the tie with a single wrap. The speed and shorter tie profile are features of the complete TwinTier tool-and-wire system rather than properties of the wire alone.
MAX specifies approximately 0.5 second tying speed for the RB441T and states that its wire-bending mechanism produces a shorter tie profile. Actual productivity depends on the tool, operator, reinforcement layout and jobsite conditions.
The TwinTier wire-bending system is designed to produce a lower-profile finished tie than conventional earlier-generation tying methods. MAX documentation for the RB441T describes approximately 50% shorter tie height under its reference comparison.
This can reduce the amount of concrete cover required above a protruding tie, but final cover requirements must still follow the structural drawings, reinforcement specification and applicable construction standard.
Tie count varies substantially with rebar size and wire type. The KYA product page lists approximately 170–260 ties per reel. Buyers should treat this as an application-dependent range rather than a guaranteed output.

The MAX RB441T is a 19 gauge TwinTier tool designed around the TW1061T wire family. MAX officially lists TW1061T, TW1061T-EG, TW1061T-PC and TW1061T-S as applicable consumables for the RB441T.
This KYA product is a KYA-branded replacement-format tie wire rather than MAX genuine wire. Before volume use, buyers should confirm reel dimensions, wire diameter, coating thickness, winding and feed performance in the exact tool.

TwinTier wire can be used in precast plants for repetitive reinforcement tying before concrete placement. The dual-wire system supports high-volume tying where the reel, tool and reinforcement combination are compatible.
Where precast specifications require coated reinforcement, confirm whether poly-coated tie wire is required and whether any project-specific coating or material documentation must accompany the shipment.
Poly-coated tie wire is commonly considered for bridge, highway and infrastructure reinforcement where epoxy-coated rebar is used.
DOT and federally funded projects may have specific material, domestic-content, coating or certification requirements. Confirm these requirements before selecting an aftermarket wire product.
Compatible TwinTier systems can be used for reinforcement in foundations, footings, walls and retaining structures. Actual reel yield depends on the diameter and number of bars in each intersection.
The tie wire positions reinforcement during fabrication and concrete placement; structural capacity is provided by the engineered reinforcement system rather than the tie wire itself.

KYA lists approximately 0.45kg net wire weight per reel. TwinTier-format wire is commonly packed for high-volume construction and distribution orders.
Where carton quantity, gross weight or pallet configuration is important, confirm the current KYA packing specification before shipment. MAX genuine TW1061T wire is commonly supplied at 30 coils per carton, but aftermarket packaging can differ.
KYA supplies TwinTier-format rebar tie wire for concrete contractors, reinforcement fabricators, precast plants, bridge contractors and construction distributors.
For bulk purchasing, provide the exact rebar tying tool model, original consumable part number, wire finish, reel dimensions, coating requirement, quantity and any project-specific certification requirements.
KYA supplies black annealed, electro-galvanized, poly-coated and stainless-steel rebar tie wire in multiple reel formats for automatic rebar tying machines.
The corresponding MAX poly-coated TwinTier wire is classified as 19 gauge. MAX specifies TW1061T-PC at approximately 1.1mm finished diameter.
KYA lists approximately 1.0mm for the underlying wire together with an approximately 0.05mm polyester coating. A coated finished diameter of approximately 1.1mm is therefore consistent with the MAX TW1061T-PC reference specification.
MAX identifies its poly-coated version as TW1061T-PC. TW1061T without the PC suffix refers to the regular annealed version.
KYA lists approximately 33m for each strand of the dual-wire reel, equivalent to roughly 66m / 215ft combined across both wires.
KYA lists approximately 170–260 ties per reel. Actual yield varies with tool model and rebar combination. MAX's official TW1061T-PC reference for the RB441T ranges from approximately 150 to 230 ties in the published test combinations.
The product is designed around the 19 gauge TwinTier wire format used by the RB441T. Because this is KYA-branded replacement wire rather than MAX genuine wire, confirm reel dimensions and feeding performance before volume use.
No. MAX currently uses the TW1061T family across multiple TwinTier tools. Compatibility of a third-party replacement reel should still be verified with the exact tool model.
No. TW898 is a different 21 gauge single-wire system. MAX specifically states that TW898 and TW1061T TwinTier wire systems are not interchangeable.
No. TW1525 belongs to a different heavy-wire rebar tying system and is not interchangeable with the TW1061T-format TwinTier reel.
The polymer surface reduces direct steel-to-epoxy contact during tying and is commonly selected for epoxy-coated reinforcement. Project and reinforcement-manufacturer requirements should still be followed.
No. Poly coating reduces direct metal contact, but installation pressure, damaged wire coating, handling and tool setup can still affect the rebar coating.
The speed advantage comes from the complete TwinTier dual-wire feeding and tying mechanism. MAX lists approximately 0.5 second tying speed for the RB441T under its reference operating conditions.
Yes. MAX describes its wire-bending mechanism as producing a lower-profile tie and has published a reference comparison showing approximately 50% shorter tie height.
No absolute guarantee should be assumed. Feeding performance depends on wire diameter, reel winding, coating quality, reel geometry, tool condition, cutter condition and proper loading.
Poly-coated tie wire is commonly used with epoxy-coated reinforcement in bridge and highway construction. Confirm the project's required coating, certification and domestic-content requirements before ordering.
A polyester coating provides additional separation and corrosion protection for the underlying steel, but it should not automatically be described as a universal marine-grade solution. Confirm the project corrosion specification and required tie-wire material.
KYA lists approximately 0.45kg net weight per reel.
Provide the exact rebar tying tool model, original consumable part number, required wire finish, reel dimensions, coating requirement, project application and purchasing quantity.
