2.3 High Carbon Wire Rod: These are produced in the size range of 5.5-17 mm diameter, conforming to SWRH 27-82 grade and manufactured in accordance with Thai Industrial Standards (TIS) No. 349-2561. These wire rods serve as raw material for manufacturing pre-stressed concrete wire, strand wire, compression spring, binding spring, torsion spring, tire cord, bead wire and sling, etc. In addition, the Company develops high carbon wire rod products that is suitable for specific customer production process that use the product for specific finished goods like wire for auto industrials, wire rope for lift, etc. This product meets the criteria for low CO2 emission wire rod demand which is expected to grow further in future. The wire rod produced from Electric Arc furnace that use scrap as raw material has significantly lower carbon footprint in comparison to wire rod that is produced through the Blast furnace route.

Carbon Steel Round Bar
4. Carbon Steel Round Bar
Carbon steel round bar with SS 400-540 quality class and 19-47 mm diameter is manufactured in accordance with JIS G3101 (2004) grade for general use and some of them are used in auto industries.
5. Cut & Bend
These consist of ready to use rebars at the construction site. Conventional rebars are produced in straight length or in coil form and then cut to required shape and size at construction sites. Use of Cut & Bend results in avoiding generation of waste at the site and the customers do not need space or skilled manpower to produce the required shapes and sizes. Cut & Bend rebars are produced using automatic machinery at the plant and transported just in time to the construction site. As construction practices mature as storage space becomes a constraint, proportion of using Cut & Bend rebars is expected to increase further.
In response to future in construction that is likely to face challenges like shortage of skilled labor, speedy construction, and more flexibility, the Company continues to develop ready to use products like;
5.1 Stirrups under the trademark ‘Tiscon Superlink’ has been launched and are used during the construction of beam and column.
5.2 Dowels used for application in road construction and concrete yards. Dowel manufactured by the Company has a roll mark “NTS” on each piece to provide customers the confidence and ability to trace back the product to the manufacturer.
5.3 Footing under the trademark ‘Tiscon Superbase’ is the ready-to-use product for usage during the construction of foundations. This product facilitates the construction of foundations to be easier and faster.
5.4 Steel for concrete road barriers (Road barriers) used in the construction of concrete road barriers to facilitate and expedite road construction projects
