Gold Wire Used to make electrical connectors that are exposed to air and corrosive conditions, this 99.99 pure gold wire remains highly conductive where other conductors would fail. Lack of insulation, warm air leaks, and complex roof designs all contribute to ice dam formations. Able to handle high melting points and conduct heat and electricity, this 99.95 pure molybdenum wire is often used in lights to create a support for filaments. Some homes are predisposed to ice dams – and the leaks that can result from them.
