The same drawing line and the same jointless winding as the 1080, from 99.90 % coil. The softer temper that comes with the higher purity is why the tensile range sits a little lower, and it is worth knowing before the wire feed is set up.
Chosen when the metallised film has to hold a barrier or optical specification across a whole reel rather than on average.
